Nathan's Famous Chow Mein Sandwich

Originating in Fall River, Massachusetts in the 1930s or 1940s the chow mein sandwich,[1] is a hot sandwich, which typically consists of a brown gravy-based chow mein mixture placed between halves of a hamburger-style bun, popular on Chinese-American restaurant menus throughout Southeastern Massachusetts and parts of neighboring Rhode Island.

The sandwiches are served "strained" or "unstrained", referring to whether or not the sandwich has vegetables. If the chow mein is "strained", it is served without vegetables.

These sandwiches can be found in the cities of Fall River, Massachusetts; New Bedford, Massachusetts; Taunton, Massachusetts; Woonsocket, Rhode Island; and Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
