St. Paul sandwichnoun · 20th century
Disputed

Named for Saint Paul, sold only in St. Louis, and nobody can explain why.

The sandwich is a fixture of Chinese American carryout counters in St. Louis and is essentially unknown in Saint Paul, Minnesota; one common account credits a cook who came from that city. No documentation supports the link, leaving a dish named after a place it otherwise has nothing to do with.
