From coast to coast, one thing unites Americans more reliably than traffic complaints and arguing over sports: sandwiches!
Every state has that one beloved handheld masterpiece that locals swear by and tourists can’t leave without trying. Whether it's smothered in sauce, stacked a mile high, or fried to golden perfection, these sandwiches are more than lunch, their identity, pride, and often, a delicious mess.
No GPS coordinates needed here. We’re talking Michigan icons, not hole-in-the-wall secrets. These are the undisputed sandwich champions of their regions, from the smoky pulled pork of the South to the meat-packed giants of the Midwest, and even the quirky creations only locals would dream up.
So grab a napkin and get ready to meet the sandwich that defines Michigan.
According to a list compiled by Vine Pair, the most famous sandwich in Michigan is the Detroit Ham sandwich.
Here's what Vine Pair had to say about the state's most popular sandwich:
"The straightforward Detroit Ham Sandwich was popularized by blue-collar factory workers who brought it for lunch. Many eateries across the city are also known for their versions; at Mike’s Famous Ham Place, ham, cheese, pickles, and mustard are smashed between two slices of bread."
