Here's a great article to celebrate the St. Paul Sandwich:
In addition to being delicious, it was the sandwich's affordability that made it so popular. A normal order of egg foo young costs around $11, but the St. Paul sandwich can be yours for a mere $6."But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you make this sandwich for yourself over a dozen years ago?"
“We knew we needed to put it on the menu because we’d seen it at other chop sueys,” Tran says. “Usually with Asians, it's just kind of like, ‘Oh, this works. Let's try it.’”
In 1982, the Trans opened a Chinese chop suey called China Wall, with the St. Paul sandwich on their menu.
Sigh. Yes I did, faithful reader
