The sandwich has certainly come a long way since the original notion created
by John Montague, fourth Earl of Sandwich. As a keen gambler, so the story goes,
who did not want to leave his cards to eat, he asked that his cold beef be
placed between two slices of bread, thus making it easy to eat and allowing him
to carry on with the game! Executive chef Adam Mathis and his team have put
together an array of fillings to suit all tastes and almost any occasion -
pleasing the eye as well as the palate. Guests can create their open-face
sandwiches, layered sandwiches with a variety of lavish fillings, hollowed-out
and stuffed sandwiches and many more.For inquiries and orders, e-mail
