According to local legend, the St. Paul Sandwich was named by Steven Yuen at Park Chop Suey in St. Louis for his home town of St. Paul. It’s considered a fast food snack that is really cheap < $2.<\/p>\n

When you eat your first Saint Paul<\/span> sandwich<\/span> it’s different, but somehow familiar. It’s the best fried egg sandwich<\/span> you ever had and the white bread reminds you of every<\/em> sandwich<\/span> you ate as a kid. You can get the egg foo yong patty with shrimp, chicken, beef, pork or all of the above topped with lettuce and mayo. Sometimes, they include tomato, pickles and even cheese. The sandwich<\/span> is outstanding for something so simple and it makes you crave it from time to time. I’ve eaten Saint Paul<\/span> sandwiches since I was young and it never fails to surprise me with how good it tastes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
