This is the second iconic Asian dish I have heard of from Missouri.  A friend of mine grew up in Springfield and speaks highly of the Springfield cashew chicken invented there.

Ben:
I would eat that sandwich.

Slight tangent, but I often stick a fried egg in a sandwich, or will make something like a linguica and egg sandwich. I also like to order a burger with a fried egg on it in restaurants where they do that.

Bogie:
There's a Chinese restaurant near me, run by a Mexican family, who does, from what I understand, a good version of that sammich.
 
Personally, I think the iconic STL sammich was the Mammer Jammer.

I don't think that anything is there anymore.
 
That was one evil bitch of a sammich.

Perd Hapley:
Tried one. Didn't like it that much. I had the crazy idea it was actually the iconic sandwich of  - wait for it - St Paul.

Bogie:
There's a Chinese joint at the corner of Kingshighway and Chippewa (Not STL Chop Suey - on the north side of Chippewa) that sells a Philly Cheese Steak egg roll that purely rocks.
