When hunger strikes, nothing hits the spot better than a hearty sandwich. Of course, there are so many options out there, making it hard to choose just one. Do you load up on something meaty like a turkey sandwich, choose a creamy variety like egg salad or reach for something salty and sweet? It really can depend on the day and the craving you have.
Like many of us, legendary American singer Bruce Springsteen has his go-to, and it’s not what you’d expect from someone with such a tough-guy reputation. In fact, it’s a solid favorite among the elementary school student crowd. Still, the 20-time Grammy winning singer of Born to Run seems boldly firm in his sandwich of choice, and he even carved out a very specific ritual for eating his sandwich beloved. Honestly? It all makes perfect sense when he lays it all out there.

It’s not exactly on brand but it is super Americana (so in a way, it is very on brand?), but Bruce Springsteen’s favorite sandwich is the good old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Springsteen waxed poetic about the PB & J during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2021.
This juicy nugget came while the 75-year-old took part in “The Colbert Questionert,” where Colbert does rapid-fire questions for guests. Naturally, the first question Colbert asked was, “What is the best sandwich?” Springsteen was ready with a quick answer. “That’s easy,” he said. “Three a.m. Peanut butter and jelly. Big glass of milk.” Colbert replied with what the rest of us are thinking: “That’s an American classic right there.”
Bruce didn’t get specific with his preferred flavor of jelly, but it’s hard to argue with his iconic sandwich choice—and how firmly convinced he is about its greatness.

Peanut butter and jelly hits that perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness to satisfy a range of cravings in one bite. It even has some protein to help fill you up while tickling those taste buds. Of course, diving into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is more than just eating a fun meal—it’s basically a mouthful of nostalgia.
