Where do we even get the idea, and name, for a sandwich? The idea of eating meat piled between two slices of bread is credited to a man named John Montagu, otherwise known as the Earl of Sandwich.

The birth of the term “sandwich” is credited to Montagu’s gambling binge, where the popularity of this portable, handheld meal caught on ..read more

The success of the movie brought fame for the actors involved, including an Oscar nomination for Jessica Tandy. It also threw a huge spotlight on the frying of green tomatoes. Why would anyone want to fry slices of an unripe vegetable? How long have people been eating tomatoes this way? The First Fried Green Tomatoes If you were to take a poll among chefs and cooks around the country, most would probably tell you that fried green tomatoes are a trad ..read more

Gorgeous coastlines, perfectly preserved pastel buildings and a food lover’s paradise. One iconic food from this island that has made its way to the mainland is the Cuban, or Cubano sandwich. However, in Cuba it is known just as a “sandwich,” much like Buffalonians would never call their beloved snack “Buffalo” wings.
