The bologna sandwich is a regional specialty in the Eastern, Midwestern, Appalachian, and Southern United States. It is a sandwich served at lunch counters of small, family-run markets that surround the Great Smoky Mountains, and fried bologna sandwiches can be found on restaurant menus in many places in the South.[1][2] The fried version is likewise sometimes sold at concession stands in stadiums, like those of the Cincinnati Reds.[3] In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it is called "jumbo".[4] In Knoxville, Tennessee, the sandwich is referred to in local slang as a "Lonsdale ham" sandwich, after the less-affluent neighborhood of Lonsdale in Knoxville.[5] In Oklahoma, barbecue bologna is often smoked for sandwiches.[6]
