Sandwich, Illinois
I’d love to tell you that Sandwich, Illinois, is a living homage to bread, cheese, cold-cuts, and condiments. I’d love to tell you that it’s home to the world’s greatest hoagie, or that it is the birthplace of bologna. Unfortunately, the truth is far less … satiating.
It turns out that the name Sandwich, Illinois, was inspired by the pre-existing Sandwich, New Hampshire. And though I’d love to dig up the origin of Sandwich, New Hampshire, I’m way too hungry.
