The Fresh Farm Market & Deli features made-to-order subs as well as choices ranging from Meat the Dream (pan-roasted turkey, roast beef, ham and cheddar cheese), the New Yorker (corned beef or pastrami with sauerkraut on rye) to the How Ya Doin' (hard salami, pepperoni, ham and provolone cheese).

Nov. 3 is the birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. This 18th-century English nobleman wanted to eat his meal with one hand during a 24-hour gambling event, so he instructed his servants to serve him his lunchmeat between two slices of bread.
