Chinese takeout tends to have fairly standard items: General Tsos, Lo Mein, and more. But, in St. Louis, there is an additional standard item - the St. Paul Sandwich.



The sandwich consists of an egg foo young patty (made with mung bean sprouts and minced white onions) served with dill pickle slices, white onion, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato between two slices of white bread. The St. Paul sandwich also comes in different combinations and specials, such as chicken, pork, shrimp, beef, and other varieties. - Wikipedia



So, I ordered from Hon's Wok to get one of these bad boys delivered right to  my hotel room. First, I dug into the crab rangoons which had super crisp edges but a pocket full of creamy cheese. The eggrolls put all the others in my local area to shame. So good. Finally, this sandwich. It is pretty basic - but it's good! It's simple, but think of a good, seasoned egg and onion sandwich with mayo - plus mine had shrimp. I'm on board.
