August also marks National Sandwich Month! According to the History Channel, no other nation took to the sandwich the way America did--considering it the most democratic of dishes. Rumor has it, the sandwich owes its name to an 18th century British gambler who did not want to get his hands greasy during a card game--Sir John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
The sandwich has since been and remains a lunchtime favorite! Sandwich connoisseurs are urged to try Bistro One West's Open-faced Steak Sandwich with caramelized onions, roasted garlic and herb cheese in honor of National Sandwich Month. This variation is everything a sandwich should be and is offered during lunch hours (Tuesday - Thursday from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.).
