The sandwiches are superior and indeed a hit across America and round the globe. Particularly in the United States, these sandwiches and deli meats are so notable that each country takes in their own signature special recipe.
Depending on the region, various restaurants have prepared the signature state sandwiches and the top-selling meat on bread combination. These sandwiches are famous because they reflect the local flavor, and of course, all American.
Here are the top-selling sandwiches in some American states.

When it comes to white sauce, people from Alabama do it differently. Instead of using cream, their white sauce is a combination of mayonnaise, apple cider and vinegar. This white sauce is perfect with chicken breast and horseradish. This is a sandwich that was created in 1925 by Robert Gibson, and is still the state-famous sandwich today.

Connecticut style Lobster Roll
The classic cold lobster roll that was invented in 1920s is a mixture of lobster chunks and mayonnaise.

Chicken Bacon Cheddar Philly (Idaho)

Then layered with mortadella, salami, mozzarella, ham and provolone cheese. The Muffaletta is as creative in taste as the French Quarter in New Orleans.
The Nuke (Montana)

This is not just a typical sub. The Italian sub is a sandwich that takes in cold cuts like salami, ham, turkey and bacon with tomatoes, onions, diced peppers, and bread and provolone cheese. It’s such a loaded sandwich that half a foot is still too much.

Chicken-Fried Steak Sandwich (Oklahoma)
It’s serious beef. It’s chicken. No, this sandwich has a sirloin steak, fried crispy chicken coating and served with lettuce, tomatoes and fries. The crispy outside keeps the sirloin steak moist and tender within.
Roast Pork with Broccoli Rabe (Philadelphia)
It’s a turn of the classic Philly steak sandwich and better. This sandwich was invented in Philadelphia and the broccoli adds a slight tartness to the pork steak strips.
