Since the dawn of traveling food shows, businesses hoped to have at least one item featured on national television. Two Minnesota sandwiches shine on 'Best Sandwiches Featured On Man V. Food'.

'Man V. Food' first aired on the Travel Channel in 2008. The show followed food enthusiast Adam Richman as he traveled across the United States looking for "big food" offerings and unique food challenges. The show ended in 2012 after four seasons when Adam retired from food challenges.

Good news for fans of the show, it was revived in 2017 and professional eater and fellow ginger Casey Webb hosted the show.

The website Mashed, released a list of the best sandwiches to be featured on the show. I'm not sure what prompted this list, but it does have me craving a "monster" sandwich. The list features 12 different sandwiches from across the U.S. and features two from Minnesota and one from Wisconsin.

Before we dive into the wonderful sandwiches from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, let's see which one represented the Badger State:
