Though people have been tucking meat between bread since the Middle Ages, the modern concept of the deli sandwich is often credited to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. Always a multitasker, it is said that Montagu’s goal was to be able to play cards while eating, without getting his cards greasy. Now, thanks to the clean-handed Earl, we have amazing sandwiches like the Mid-Towner, Homerun Pastrami Melt and the Funky Chicken.
Stop by one of Spec’s Deli locations in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, Laredo, Lubbock or San Antonio to celebrate the Earl’s eponymous creation with one of our signature deli sandwiches. Here are some of our favorites from the menu!
