The St. Paul sandwich is wildly underappreciated. I had never heard of it before I lived in Missouri, and after I left I found that, like me, most people have never even heard of it. It’s a sad state of affairs.

The St. Paul sandwich is a national treasure. It’s a uniquely American food that only exists by dint of the “melting pot” of cultures that we as a country used to count among our best features.
