The Best Sandwiches in Costa Mesa part one
The creation of the sandwich is widely credited to John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. The story behind the sandwich is that Montagu was an avid gambler who created the hand-held meal so he could keep one hand free and continue to gamble while he ate.
The sandwich has evolved since Montagu’s stubborn, yet brilliant idea to put meat between two slices of bread. It comes at no surprise given the versatility and variety of the sandwich that it has become one of the most popular food items in the United States. It has even inspired its own day (and month).
The variety of amazing sandwiches in the City of the Arts, Costa Mesa, is no exception. Travel Costa Mesa has compiled a two-part list of the top restaurants to enjoy the art of an amazing sandwich. Be sure to try these sandwiches before we share the second half of our list. Each sandwich tastes so good that even Montagu would take a break from gambling to enjoy one!

Although Monte Cristos are not a common menu item, it is hard to find one that can compare to Le Chateau’s.
