These days, people are really so busy that they can’t even take the time to eat a full course meal. The struggle is real. Deadlines versus work. And for many, work wins.

But work getting in the way of meals is not unique to modern-day people. In fact, centuries ago, there was one man was so engrossed with his card game that he did not want to leave the gaming table. Perhaps he was on a winning streak? No matter the reason, he was not about to let hunger pangs get in the way.

At the launch of Earl of Sandwich’s restaurant at SM Megamall.

This was in 1762, and the man who could not be disturbed was John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. So that he may continue with the card game, he asked that some roast beef be placed between two slices of bread, which he then could easily eat with his hands.

So, in honor of his brilliant dining concept, bread served this way was named the Sandwich.

Fast forward to 2004 when Lord John Montagu, the 11th Earl of Sandwich, and his son, the Honorable Orlando Montagu, direct descendants of the inventor of the sandwich, partnered with Robert Earl, founder and CEO of Planet Hollywood®. Together, they launched the Earl of Sandwich® restaurants.

Today, the Earl of Sandwich® can be found in 35 locations across USA, one in Paris and one in Manila, located at the 4th level, Bridgeway, SM Megamall.

This thriving success attests to its reputation as the expert makers of The World’s Greatest Hot Sandwich.

Through the centuries, the Earl’s sandwich selection has grown and evolved into its signature sandwiches, which are all built to order with unique compositions of flavors.
