You can link to your post or another post which is reflected in the image in order to get traffic. You should have a minimum of 10 gallery slides, so 10 of these block combos. This template has 10 for you to start with.

1. Pepperoni Roll (West Virginia)

Invented for coal miners, this roll-stuffed-with-pepperoni is portable, hearty, and requires zero utensils. Make it here

2. Steak Bomb (New England)

Shaved steak, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese all jammed in a sub roll. It’s hot, heavy, and built for people who don’t mess around. Build one here

3. Loose Meat Sandwich (Iowa)

Ground beef, seasoned and crumbled onto a soft bun. No sauce, no frills, just beef and bread; and it holds its own. Try it now

4. Sloppy Joe (Every Cafeteria That Matters)

Ground beef simmered in sweet red sauce, served on a bun that can barely hold it. It’s nostalgic, messy, and filling as hell. Make one here

5. Fried Bologna Sandwich (Southern U.S.)

Thick slices of bologna pan-fried and dropped on bread with cheese and mustard. It’s gas station royalty and proud of it. Try it out

6. Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich (Midwest)

A fried pork cutlet bigger than the bun. Crispy edges, soft middle, and straight-up diner energy. Get the recipe

7. Chicken-Fried Steak Sandwich (Texas)

Breaded, fried, and served on a bun; this one doesn’t play around. Pure comfort from the working-class South. Make it here

8. Patty Melt (Diner Staple)

A burger’s greasy cousin: grilled rye, melted cheese, and onions. Made for late-night shifts and early-morning hangovers. Build one now

9. South Dakota’s Hot Beef Sandwich

Roast beef and gravy over white bread with mashed potatoes on the side. Knife and fork required. Dignity optional. Try it out

11. Polish Boy Sandwich (Cleveland, Ohio)

Kielbasa, fries, slaw, and BBQ sauce stuffed in a bun. It’s a full plate disguised as a sandwich. Make it here

12. Cudighi Sandwich (Michigan’s Upper Peninsula)

A spicy Italian sausage patty topped with sauce and mozzarella. You won’t find this outside the UP; and that’s a shame. Try it now

13. Livermush Sandwich (North Carolina)

Pork liver and cornmeal, fried crispy and slapped between white bread with mustard. It’s old-school, Southern, and straight from the lunch pail. Get the recipe
