Happy National Sandwich Day!

Whether you stack it high or thin, National Sandwich Day on November 3rd, recognizes one of America's favorite lunch items.

The sandwich is the namesake of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, following the claim that he was the inventor of the sandwich. No matter who invented it, we celebrate every kind of sandwich.

Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.

They also make lists, which we love, so when they recently chose the best sandwich experience in each state, we just HAD to know what their choice for Maine was.

Usually Maine is associated with lobster rolls (which are technically not a sandwich), but one delicacy in the heart of the Old Port, topped the list!

Duckfat located at 43 Middle Street in Portland, is the place to be, if you’re a fan of indulgent comfort food with a twist.
