But with sandwiches this good, you can’t leave Bellevillle without trying one!

It's National Sandwich Day, and a new study looked at the most popular sandwich in all 50 states.  "Chicken sandwich" and "tuna sandwich" tied for first with six states each.  "Barbecue sandwich" was next with five states.

"Chicken sandwich" is #1 in Arkansas . . . Georgia . . . Indiana . . . Mississippi . . . Missouri . . . and Nevada.  And "tuna sandwich" also got six states:  Idaho . . . Maryland . . . Montana . . . New Mexico . . . Rhode Island . . . and Wisconsin.

But "chicken salad" is #1 in Utah.  So does chicken win?  Or is "chicken salad" closer to "tuna salad"?  Anyway, here are a few more highlights . . .

1.  "Barbecue sandwich" was #1 in five states:  Alabama . . . Kansas . . . North Carolina, Tennessee . . . and West Virginia.

2.  Breakfast sandwiches did fairly well with three states:  "Bacon, egg, and cheese" in New York and Connecticut.  And "fried egg sandwich" in Minnesota.

3.  Four sandwiches got two states each:  "Bologna sandwich" in Kentucky and Ohio.  "Fluffernutter" in Massachusetts and South Dakota.  "Patty melt" in Oklahoma and Texas.  And "banh mi" in Oregon and Washington.  (It's like a sub in Vietnam.)

4.  Here are four more you might actually be able to guess:  In Pennsylvania, "cheesesteak" . . . Florida, "Cuban" . . . Louisiana, "po boy" . . . and in Maine, "lobster roll."

(Here's a map of all 50 states.)

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
