Everywhere You Can Get Free & Cheap Sandwiches on National Sandwich Day

If you won the lottery today and decided you want to put your name on something that would stand forever as a testament to your greatness, you could do a lot worse than following the lead of John Montagu. (At least as far as naming things is concerned.)

Montagu was the 4th Earl of Sandwich, and the legend says that sandwiches are named after him. Not only does he get the mighty sandwich, but he basically gets National Sandwich Day on November 3 as well. On this strange, beautiful food holiday, you’ll find discounts from restaurants like Potbelly, McAlister's Deli, Schlotzsky's, and others.
