Carnitas Po’Boy – El Lupillo is a taqueria in Gulfport, Mississippi run by Henry Vanegas. It’s known for the uniquely American mashup sandwich, the Carnitas Po’Boy –rich and spicy stewed Mexican pork carnitas slapped on a traditional New Orleans Po’Boy with all the fixins.

Livermush Sandwiches are a specialty of Brooks’ Sandwich House in Charlotte, North Carolina. Identical twin brothers, Scott and David Brooks have been perfecting their chili covered hamburgers for hungry blue collar workers since 1973. It may be only in North Carolina that you will taste a livermush sandwich – sliced liver sausage patties, fried and cradled in a bun. At Brooks’ it’s the extra chili that puts it over the top.
