Earl of Sandwich to open in Showboat Atlantic City Hotel & Casino25 June 2012ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Earl of Sandwich, created by the direct descendent of John Montagu, the Earl who invented putting meat between bread in 1762, will open its first location in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the Showboat Atlantic City Hotel & Casino. Earl of Sandwich will be located in the main lobby near the check-in desk. This is the second Earl of Sandwich for Caesars Entertainment as the Atlantic City location joins the sister location at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. "Showboat continues to enhance our culinary experience and offerings. Accordingly, we are very excited to introduce the Earl of Sandwich brand to the Showboat family," said Kevin Ortzman, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Showboat and Bally's Atlantic City. "Earl of Sandwich offers great food at reasonable prices. Simply stated: Earl of Sandwich makes a great sandwich." Earl of Sandwich features the freshest meats and cheeses, including Angus Beef that is roasted in house daily, the freshest produce and their signature artisan breads and desserts baked daily in-house. The moderately priced sandwiches will be available to eat on location as well as to-go. Customers can learn a little history while they eat signature sandwiches such as The Original 1762 and The Full Montagu, which draw their names and inspiration from John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. To wit, in 1762, John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, had his hands full, literally. As First Sea Lord, he commanded the mighty British Navy, was a noted explorer, and also a dedicated gambler. This led to little time for food, so he came up with the ingenious idea of putting meat between two slices of bread. Thus in 1762, the sandwich was born and named after its inventor, the Earl of Sandwich. Now, nearly 250 years later, John Montagu, the current 11th Earl of Sandwich and his family remain passionate about the world’s most popular quick food that carries their name. Together with restaurant entrepreneur Robert Earl, they have developed the sandwich everyone has been waiting for…The World’s Greatest Hot Sandwich. At Earl of Sandwich they don’t serve mere sandwiches. They serve THE Sandwich, like no other - made-to-order, using top-quality, fresh ingredients and served on artisan baked bread, made from a secret recipe. The sandwiches take approximately four minutes to make, from when the customer orders.
