In 1762, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich - Phipps Plaza, came up with an invention that changed dining forever. With the serving of roast beef placed between two slices of bread, the Earl created the complete meal he could eat with his hands. Brilliant! The Sandwich was born. Some 250 years later, Earl of Sandwich - Phipps Plaza restaurants have taken that idea or crafted it into the made-to-order, freshly baked Sandwich like no other. At Earl of Sandwich - Phipps Plaza we don’t serve mere sandwiches. We serve The Sandwich. We roast our beef on premises daily to ensure that every single Sandwich is served at the peak of freshness. We add fresh vegetables, gourmet condiments or generous slices of the finest cheeses. Every Sandwich is assembled on our own signature artisan bread, which bakes fresh with each Sandwich. As your Sandwich bakes in our ovens, the meats or cheeses are melded, releasing their flavors together in spectacular fashion. It’s the distinctly unique method that results in an amazingly fresh, tasty Sandwich.
