Design student Kelly Pratt decided to eat her way through the classic sandwiches of all fifty states. Her project is called Stately Sandwiches. So far, she has done the California Powerhouse, as well as...
The Massachusetts Fluffernutter...
The Louisiana Muffuletta...
Minnesota Fried Walleye...
Connecticut Chicken Parm...
And the Virginia Ham Biscuit.What's your favorite sandwich? And your state's sandwich? Growing up in Michigan, we had turkey and cheese sandwiches with potato chips! See more here.

omg yum! can't wait to have lunch now!

What a great idea! I love a good hummus sandwhich with avocado, sprouts, and other veggies. Yum
ReplyDeleteI need meat in my sandwiches, the more the better. Salami and brie is heaven.

New favorite: California Powerhouse
ReplyDeletemm so yummy looking! My favorite is the California one. But, I'm biased because it's my home state and I love avocados!
ReplyDeleteThe California Powerhouse has given me yet another reason to travel to the west coast. Thanks for sharing this project!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Michigan's should be a coney...does that count as a sandwich?
ReplyDeleteOnly if it's A&W Coney Dog, Sarah!!!! My parents owned one of those in MI, so I must agree. But I also second Joanna's tato chips on sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI live in Philly and over the past three years have become OBSESSED with cheesesteaks!! I seriously cannot get enough of them. Gross, I know. But sooooooo good. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Wow this is such a neat idea! I'm from Texas but now I live in Georgia, so I suppose I'll have to find a way to mix the two!
ReplyDeleteBrooke
I love that! I'm a Massachusetts native, and we take our fluff VERY seriously - I even worked a "fluff" festival on year (so many sticky hands :) ).
ReplyDeleteBecca
Now I'm dying for a turkey and cheese sandwich. And of course I'm pregnant..so can't eat the cold cuts unless I heat it. But who wants that?!
ReplyDeleteYum, this is making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI have European parents so I grew up eating a lot of open sandwiches.
My mom used to make us tomato and garlic sandwiches - all you do is spread a little bit of lard or butter on a slice of rye bread, then mash some fresh garlic up (so it's a paste - I just use a flat tipped knife and salt and mash it up), spread it on the bread, and then top with fresh sliced tomato. Yum.
I have no idea what Kansas' would be...probably something BBQ related...burnt ends?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be pondering this all day now! I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
This is such a cool (and delicious) project! Can't wait to see the Delaware sandy.
ReplyDeleteMinnesota Walleye - Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of bummed she used the Reuben for New York. The reuben originated at the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, a block from my house!
ReplyDeleteGood God I love a Walleye Sandwich. I'll forever be a Minnesota girl. What a creative idea!
ReplyDeleteA classic sandwich of the South (AL/GA) is the Tomato Sandwich. Sliced bread, mayo and about 2 slices of tomato. Super simple, really quick and VERY good! I've eaten a million of these and it always takes me back to vacations with my grandparents. It's still one of my favorite sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea but I cannot believe the choice for Massachusetts! A Fluffernutter, really?! I do not think that wonderbread, peanuts or chemicals/sugar relate at all to MA. My suggestion, as a tried and true Masshole, is the Thanksgiving sandwich. A much more accurate culinary depiction of MA!
ReplyDeleteI love a BLT with thick bacon! YUM YUM! Or a grilled cheese! The state I reside in (NC)'s sandwich would have to be a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. Not confirmed, just assumed. xoxo A-
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I'm a Californian, and the California sandwich looks right up my alley. My favorite sandwich is turkey, bacon, cheddar and avocado. It's heavenly!
ReplyDeleteoh man, these are making me hungry!! I wonder what Illinois is.... :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, as a Pittsburgh girl, I'm pretty disappointed she did the cheesesteak for PA and not a primanti's cold cuts, coleslaw, and french fry sandwich!
ReplyDeleteThis is making me hungry!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I grew up eating turkey and cheese sammies in MI too (with mustard, something my French honey can't even BEGIN to work his head around) and now? The last time I was in Ann Arbor it was a Porchetta sanwich: slow-roasted garlic and herb-infused pork shoulder with salsa verde aioli as well as fennel sauerkraut --it was as insane as it sounds. We've come a long way baby!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. I bet my home state (Missouri) is going to get stuck with the St. Paul sandwich. It's like an egg foo young sandwich with hamburger fixings (pickles, onions, tomato lettuce). It's kind of a weird thing. I don't think it exists outside of St. Louis. Or worse, the fried-brain sandwich! If those were my options I think I'd have to fall back on the St. Paul!
ReplyDeleteNow I live in Indiana, which is proud of its for pork tenderloin sandwiches! They're enormous but they are sooo good.
This is such a good idea - I could quite easily eat my way around America!
ReplyDeletelove this! and love a good California Powerhouse every now and again as well! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool idea! Thanks for sharing, Joanna. I'd try this if I liked so many sandwiches...I pretty much only like grilled cheese sandwiches, vegetable-only sandwiches, and PB sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteI love avocado! Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteokay, this rules.
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest thing since sliced bread...My husband and I are going to make our way through all these recipes. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a classic North Carolina 'mater sandwich: White bread, juicy tomatoes still warm from the garden, Miracle Whip, salt and pepper.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea - California Power House all the way!
ReplyDeleteaaaah how fun!! although as a born and bred virginia girl, i'm disappointed that she didn't use country ham for her biscuit. but i guess if she used smithfield, it's not the end of the world :) what a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm tried to name what the sandwiches would be from the states I've lived in- from MN and I correctly guessed that it would be walleye, can't wait to see what she picks as the state sandwiches for the other states I live/lived in- how interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think the oregon sandwich should be smoked salmon with a side of beer :)
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteI just turned veggie and this post is making me want to eat an amazing ham sandwich! :/
xx
The ham of a ham biscuit is country ham, not sliced!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling! Is it lunchtime yet? Love your blog, great post. Following religiously now!

Minnesota Walleye! Whoo hoo!
ReplyDeletewhat great ideas to dress up boring sandwiches! the CA powerhouse sandwich looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo CT! As a child I loved ham and cheese melts.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. These look delicious. What a great idea x
ReplyDeleteThis made me hungry. I just whipped up a sandwich. My favorite lunch!
ReplyDeleteGlad I found your blog :)

I have to go for the California powerhouse!Great photos.
ReplyDeletehttp://fiveminutefashions.blogspot.com/
I've never thought about each state having their own sandwhich, but the Powerhouse is definitely representative for California
ReplyDeleteSandwiches are my favorite food on the whole world. Nothing is better than a really good sandwich. There is a place in Philly called Sptaros and they have a killer turkey hoagie. Best sandwich ever. I grew up in California and my mom always put sprouts on my sandwiches so the CA sandwich makes sense. Just needs some turkey. I live in arizona now. I don't know what the state sandwich is here but I have to try it.

Ooh, I wonder what Michigan's sandwich will be!
ReplyDeleteoh cool cant wait to check this out and get some ideas!
ReplyDeletehttp://gandacummings.blogspot.com
Crab cake sandwich with Old Bay should be the one for Maryland! There is nothing better :)
ReplyDeleteinterestingly, i'm from CA and have had the CA powerhouse countless times (but with cream cheese sometimes, not mayo). i had no idea it had a name or was so ubiquitous. i've also never actually had any of the other sandwiches! i swear i'm more adventurous than that makes me sound!
ReplyDeleteUmmm Hawaii....I don't really think we have a sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThe California Powerhouse looks so good! I bet it would go great with a the Strawberry Cucumber Hef my husband brewed last month! You can find a simplified how-to on my blog!
ReplyDeletexo,

Fluff is made in my hometown and I definitely agree with her choice! My friends that have moved away always ask me to send them cases, so they can make Fluffanutters!
ReplyDeleteI went to the factory as a child and all I remember is this huge waterfall of Fluff! Heaven!
Florida better be a Cuban, properly pressed!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what an Oregon sandwich would be, but I bet it's something vegan and gluten free :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I just had that exact same California sandwich! :o
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna and fellow sandwich lovers! Thanks for all of the wonderful comments and sandwich suggestions.
ReplyDeleteIf any of your are interested, I will be selling the 12 sandwich prints I have made so far on Fab.com this Friday! Set your alarms and check out The Foodie Shop!
And keep eating sandwiches!
Such a fun idea! The california one looks so tasty!

ohh, the minnesota sandwich looks delicious!!!
ReplyDeletexo TJ
I'm from Maine, and I assume the sandwich will be a lobster roll. Please don't smother it in mayo though, it really doesn't need ANY!! Just a little melted butter, salt, and pepper, and you're good to go!!
ReplyDeleteis it funny that I'm from California and the only one I'd even choose is the California sandwich?!
ReplyDeleteI never realized that a fluffernutter was a Mass. thing! They are oh so delicious. We obviously had fluff in our house on the reg, and occasionally the raspberry fluff! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to see what she digs up for NJ. An Italian hoagie from White House, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteLately I've been all about turkey and swiss cheese :D I love sandwitches!
ReplyDeleteThe all English sandwich - marmite on toast!
ReplyDeleteThe Connecticut Chicken Parm... I guess that's not too bad of a way to go. The Philadelphia Cheesesteak. As for favorite sandwich, anything involving Nutella :)
ReplyDeletemakes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteYummy! And it also looks lovely! That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've been craving some new sandwich recipes lately. This is so inspiring! (especially because my boyfriend hates sandwiches, and I'm hoping to change his mind!)
ReplyDeletehmmm, oklahoma? i'd say...biscuits and gravy. which...is not a sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun idea! x

Cheese, always. By itself or with sliced raw onion. Brits like it with Branston Pickle. Or with salad. Preferably made with strong Cheddar.
ReplyDeleteSimple but perfect.
Sadie is so right... In Indiana it would have to be a gigantic breaded tenderloin... With sugar cream pie for dessert! (That's why we are fat and have lots of heart disease!)
ReplyDeleteThat is just so cool! As a Virginia girl, I give that ham biscuit a big thumbs up : )
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI love new sandwich ideas.
I currently love a basic ham and mustard sandwich on seeded breaded simple but yummy :)
Louisiana has to be the poboy! I have a fried oyster poboy every time I go home! (Not exactly healthy but it's delicious.)
ReplyDeleteCool idea! Originally from the Philly area so a Philly cheesteak. But I feel like New York would be some sort of pastrami sandwich from Katz's deli, though they aren't my fave.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Jenny
