These aren’t just the best cornbread sandwiches in Texas, but quite possibly the only such concoction in the world. If you live in Texas and have yet to try a Kornbread Sandwich from Kitt’s, you’ve been missing out to say the least. See what all the hype is about:

The owner of Kitt's came up with the idea of a cornbread sandwich at the ripe old age of 8. She saw leftover cornbread from the night before on the kitchen counter and decided to see how it would taste with ham & cheese in between - and thus, a legacy was born.
TripAdvisor/JAGIN
Located in a historic 1880s building in downtown Jefferson, the restaurant has gone through many changes over the years. It was originally called "Jefferson's House of Pies," but the owners renamed it upon realizing that the Kornbread Sandwich was the star of the show.
TripAdvisor/GPZachary
There are nine different varieties of the sandwich, some cold and others hot. Whether you're a simple ham and American cheese kind of person or like to jazz it up with pastrami and provolone, there's something for every palate on the menu.
