In a comedic homage to Hands Across America, Jimmy Fallon last week attempted to stretch Subway subs across America. Commercialism aside, it's a testament to just how far the profile of the humble hoagie has risen. Are sandwiches our national food?

Lol @ Wink.... and while you may suffer the aftermath of a full blown Shitzkrieg after eating a couple of them, I cannot think of anything more goddamn American than the Zip Burger at Mug's Up.
Could be. Fried Egg sandwich any one, or maybe a pastrami on rye?
However, if sandwiches are, where does that leave meatloaf, mac & cheese, spaghetti red aka American chow mein-or a half dozen other names, & steak with baked potato?
The hamburger has echoes of that German city firebombed by the allies in WWII.
The Philly. Now that's a sandwich that sounds American.
The burger should be the national food. Invented in the US, unlike the sandwich.
The burger has everything an American classic should have. Normally made of beef, delicious, a little more meaty than it should be and customizable. A good burger can end up with a whole host of toppings and styles.
Burgers are probably most typically served as kind of generic chain fast food in the suburbs, but have some wonderful high end urban versions with the best ingredients.
