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.

In some cases, yes; but the Cuban is certainly Florida's sandwich.
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. 
I'm sorry to hear that. :(

When you're from Detroit every city is an improvement.   :)

For some states they got it right though.

@Sav Yet, to a lot of people, that sandwich would be odd what with the roast pork and all.  Same for the fried baloney sandwich from 'Arkansas' (in reality it's all over the Midwest and Upper South).

Overall I would have to say the Cuban sandwich is the best one on the list if it's done well.

Yeah, but you gotta pick the trashiest state for fried bologna.  That was probably a coin-flip between Arkansas and West Virginia.

Fried baloney is Kentucky Steak.

West Virginia should have been those pepperoni roll things (though maybe those can't really be considered sandwiches).

Yeah.  Or hotdogs if those could be considered sandwiches.

Actually a Tudor's biscuit with sausage would be a breakfast sandwich, I guess.

Pork tenderloin is much more common in Iowa than loose meat.

I personally think it tastes like breading in a bun.

In other words, the perfect sandwich for MIDDLE UMURRICA. :)

I know they have those hotdog stands all over the place, but if anyone needs to have hotdogs, it's gotta be Illinois.

Chicago has too many iconic foods to pick one.



One sandwich that was everywhere when I was a kid were those shredded turkey in gravy on a bun. Seemed like every event had those.
