A.C. Watch: Earl of Sandwich
Everyone knows the story of the sandwich, right? Some degenerate gambling earl named John Montagu couldn't be bothered to leave the card game for meals and decided that sandwiching two pieces of bread around some meat was just the thing to sustain him during those long evenings of wagering. Well, that's the story at least.
A.C. Watch: Earl of Sandwich
Everyone knows the story of the sandwich, right? Some degenerate gambling earl named John Montagu couldn't be bothered to leave the card game for meals and decided that sandwiching two pieces of bread around some meat was just the thing to sustain him during those long evenings of wagering. Well, that's the story at least.
So it's kind of perfect that alleged descendants of the Montagu clan have opened up the aptly named Earl of Sandwich shop in the lobby of the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City. Playing up the edible component of their family legacy, the Earl serves up a roast beef and cheddar with horseradish sauce dubbed the Original 1762 (that'll be the year of the inception of the sandwich) and a Full Montagu of beef, turkey, swiss, cheddar, and Earl's mustard sauce. While's there's nothing even remotely British about Earl of Sandwich and no real was to tell if the owners are in fact relatives of the Earl, Montagu would be very pleased to know that Earl of Sandwich is open 24 hours a day, seven days making sure that all of the devoted gamblers out there aren't wasting too much time away from the tables.
