Today, Nov. 3, is National Sandwich Day.

Though National Today said that meat, cheese and vegetables served between two slices of bread were common in Greek and Turkish cultures, the sandwich is believed to be named for John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who placed his meal between slices of bread so he could eat with one hand while playing cards.

National Day Calendar said it is still researching the origins of National Sandwich Day. Regardless of how the holiday began, several sandwich chains are offering deals and discounts today. From Capriotti’s to Panera, here’s a look at which sandwich shops with Reno locations have specials.
