My gourmet bachelor dish is a can of tuna in mac.  With parmesan on top.  :)

I love me some mac and tuna.  I do not like Parmesan cheese.

My recent bachelor dish:

- 1 bag of Trader Joe's turkey meatballs.
- 1 bag of Trader Joe's frozen vegetable blend.

- Microwave meatballs long enough to be able to cut, thaw veggies under hot water, dice meatballs, mix all together in cook in a wok for a bit.  Makes a couple 350-400 calorie meals (one usually saved for lunch the next day).

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I shouldn't have gone through this list so far ahead of lunchtime.  They have some really good picks.  I swear I've been to at least 10 of the restaurants mentioned.  I'm a sucker for trying the local sandwich speciality for lunch when I travel on business. 

They even have Seedy's favorite Lake Trout in there.

That's actually one I had never heard of.

From that list, I have had:

Alabama: Alabama-Style Chicken Sandwich With White Sauce
Arkansas: Fried Bologna Sandwich (not in Arkansas though... we have those exact sandwiches here)
California: The French Dip
Connecticut: Connecticut-Style Hot Lobster Roll
Florida: The Cuban
Illinois: The Italian Beef
Indiana: The Pork Tenderloin
Iowa: Loose-Meat Sandwich (in Missouri, though)
Kentucky: The Hot Brown
Louisiana: The Muffaletta
Maine: Lobster Roll
Massachusetts: The Fluffernutter
New Hampshire: Beer-Battered Fish Sandwich
New Jersey: Italian Sub - White House Subs is literally the best sub shop on the planet  :licklips:
North Carolina: Chopped Pork
Ohio: The Polish Boy  :cool:
Texas: Brisket on Toast
Vermont: Vermonter
Wisconsin: The Red Brat

I never even heard of the place listed for Pennsylvania, and it's ludicrous that the state sammich wasn't the cheesesteak.  Jersey probably should have been the Pork Roll, too, though like I said White House Subs in AC is amazing.

It seems like it has become very hard to get in Cleveland.  I had to hunt around till I found a place that sold it, and that place has closed since I was up there.  IIRC that Seti's Polish Boy vendor is actually a lunch truck.

A pasty isn't a sandwich.   :mad:

Those are only popular in the western half of Michigan's upper peninsula.  I went to college up there, and I don't much care for them; they're bland and heavy.  The locals love them, though they douse them in catsup.

Given the prolific number of Greek and Middle Eastern cafes in the Detroit area the Gyro would probably have been a better choice for Michigan; or maybe the loose hamburgers from the Coney Islands.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I was in Pittsburgh for business once.  My coworkers insisted that we go to Primanti Brothers for their signature sandwich of meat, cole slaw and fries; but none of the Pistburghers ordered that.  After having one I didn't blame them.  So at least Pennsylvania's wasn't that.

They seemed to have been going for the weirdest sandwich they could find in each state as opposed to the one that actually typifies the state.
