After weeks of spirited voting, regional rivalries, and passionate support from sandwich fans across the country, Hellmann’s is officially crowning Pennsylvania’s Philly Cheesesteak as America’s Sandwich. In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Hellmann’s brought together all 50 states in a nationwide bracket celebrating the regional sandwiches that define local food culture. More than 10,000 fans cast nearly 100,000 votes to rally behind hometown favorites and turned regional food pride into a nationwide conversation.

“America has official symbols for its bird, flower, and tree. It was about time we settled the sandwich,” Jessica Grigoriou, SVP of Marketing, Condiments at Unilever North America, commented. “At Hellmann’s, we know sandwiches have a special way of bringing people together. America chose the Philly Cheesesteak, and we’ll be celebrating it the Hellmann’s way: with a creamy spread of America’s number one mayonnaise.”

Fifty states entered. One sandwich took the crown. Pennsylvania can now officially claim the Philly Cheesesteak as America’s Sandwich. And Hellmann’s is bringing the mayo. Watch Hellmann’s social channels for more information
