250 years ago, John Montagu, a famous explorer and the 4th Earl of Sandwich, accidentally invented the revolutionary meal thanks in part to a gambling problem.
The story goes as follows: John Monatgu was such an avid gambler that he didn't want to have to take breaks from playing cards and needed a meal he could eat with only one hand. This led to him putting meat between two pieces of bread and just like that, the world's first fast food item was invented. The trend caught on like wildfire in 1762. Now, there are several Earl of Sandwich locations nationwide, but none quite as good as the one in Downtown Disney's Marketplace. The company was founded by the Sandwich family themselves, and is currently run by the 11th Earl.
These sandwiches are unlike any other- they are full, hearty gourmet meals. My personal favorite is the Caprese- it has mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, lettuce and a thick, sweet balsamic glaze. This is a great spot for a date (you can catch an afternoon movie at the AMC theater nearby) or for catching up with friends.
