NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY PIG-OUT

NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY PIG-OUT

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- Today is National Sandwich Day, when Americans commemorate the birth of the man who created the first sandwich: John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. In order to celebrate the holiday, a Chicago-based sandwich shop is holding a contest to see who can eat the most sandwiches in five minutes. Competitors in the contest sponsored by Potbelly Sandwich Works will bust their bellies with 6-inch-long turkey and swiss sandwiches washed down with chocolate milk shakes. The porker who pigs out on the most shakes and sandwiches in five minutes will win a trip to Washington, D.C. A spokeswoman says there will be a registered nurse on hand in case anyone gets really sick from the gorging session.
