50. Massachusetts: Chow Mein Sandwich
One of the most unexpected dishes to come out of Massachusetts, particularly from the city of Fall River, is the Chow Mein Sandwich. It features crispy fried noodles smothered in thick brown gravy with bits of celery, onions, and sometimes meat — all sandwiched between hamburger buns or slices of white bread. This Chinese-American fusion dish became popular in local diners and takeouts during the early 20th century and remains a nostalgic, savory staple for many in southeastern Massachusetts. It’s a uniquely messy, flavorful bite of regional food history.
