There is a ton of food culture in Michigan, like the coney dog or their square pizza (both very good), but with deep blue-collar, industrial roots, there is only one working man's lunch counter sandwich that defines the Michigan lunch landscape. That is, of course, the ham sandwich. Compact and easy to transport to factory floors, the "Detroiter" ham concept began in 1957 at HoneyBaked Ham Store, opened by Harry J. Hoenselaar, who began serving holiday ham sandwiches to factory workers in the surrounding area. And from there the Detroit ham craze exploded into places such as Lile's Sandwich Shop, Ham Palace, and Johnny's Ham King. What sets the Detroit ham shop apart is the preparation, with each ham house-baked and piled high with cheese and yellow mustard into a poppy seed roll. There is nothing elegant about this sandwich and really there's no need for it. Meat. Cheese. Condiment. What else can you really ask for in a lunch sandwich?
Ingredients:
Baked Ham
Poppyseed or onion sandwich rolls
Cheese (I used white American)
Mayo
Yellow Mustard
Pickles
1. Add mayo to the rolls.
2. Pile sliced ham and cheese to said rolls.
3. Apply yellow mustard and pickles on top.
