The quiver in his voice when he said this is one of the best sandwiches he's ever had. I FELT THAT. Making for Christmas Eve 🎄

St. Pauls where in St. Louis way before the '80's. I'm 65 and had St. Pauls when I was a child in the 60's. Everything else you said was totally correct. Thank you for sharing a little bit of St. Louis with the world.

St Paul Sandwiches brings back so many memories! Bing Lau's Chop Suey in North St. Louis was one of the first restaurants that sold these sandwiches as well as egg foo young back in the early 1970's. Anyone remember that place. Please comment if you do!!

Another winner for white bread sandwiches. My summer favorite is thick cut homegrown tomatoes on "welfare bread" with lots of mayo and pepper.Thanks Bryan! 👍😋

[Wiencourager]

I like to add a dash of oyster sauce in each patty. Really helps the flavor

There needs to be a warning here..
These sandwiches are addictive! LOL

I swore off bread years ago for health reasons, but I'd make an exception and go way out of my way just to eat a St. Paul again. Yum!
