St. Louis Proud: Meet the St. Paul sandwich

The sandwich is a Chinese deep fried omelette served on white bread, with pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo.

I was introduced to the St. Paul in 3rd grade by my best friend (back when 3rd graders were allowed to leave the schoolyard for lunch🤷🏾‍♀️😂) and been munching on them since!! So good!!!💕

I researched the sandwich and the Chinese were making St Paul's during the 1800's on the rail road chuck wagons. I grew up on the Legendary Chong Wah St Paul's in the U on Olive back in the 80's

They fire but you have to go on the north side for the best ones lou

Fire, I know it may not be the healthiest way to eat it but I like mine with the fake American cheese slice. Also, as a STL resident if u come to my city I recommend either John's on West Florissant or Bing Lau on Grand for fried rice & St Paul sandwiches🤷🏾‍♂️

I grew up in Minneapolis and my mom would make egg foo yung for dinner and any leftovers would be a St. Paul sandwich the next day. Funny thing was it didn’t have a name at the time. It was just an egg foo yung sandwich.You don't need all that oil!😮

It's weird that I've been to St. Paul, but no one sold it there. Folks looked at me like I was crazy

Im from east st louis and grew up eating st paul sandwiches. I have lived in twin cities for almost 30 years now and still no one here has heard of it nor do they sell it in minnesota. You wont find it on any menu here.

[LukeDuke]

Wow surely thought it came from STL. I Love em!

[jonnytorch-erig]

I think the only change I’d make is toasting the bread.

[Muslimgirl]

It will always be an ST. LOUIS sandwich! Argue with your mom.

Oh no, Saint Paul sandwich from Ahn's in Edwardsville Illinois. I remember they served it on Texas toast LOL my buddy was addicted to them in college!

[lugivens]

I live in Indiana and that sandwich has been out since the 1990.

[curtismay]

[tamaiajohnson]

[fredwilley]

I live in St. Louis and grew up less than a mile from this Chinese express. One day witnessed a lady using a garden hose and the curb to wash vegetables outside this restaurant. I never ate there again.

[ronp]
