National Sandwich Day deals: Where to find the freebies and savings
John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, was born in November of 1718. Hundreds of years later, you might be able to get a free lunch thanks to him.
Sunday, Nov. 3 is National Sandwich Day in recognition of Montagu, who is said to have invented — or at least popularized — the modern sandwich during a 24-hour gambling binge in 1762.
Several national sandwich chains have announced deals, freebies or philanthropy tied to the occasion. Here’s a look at what some of them have to offer:
