Ah, the Dagwood. A sandwich so popular, it's in Webster's Dictionary! We featured the Dagwood as one of our Spotlights last week and we thought we might revisit its history. According to Wikipedia: A Dagwood (sandwich) is a tall, multi-layered sandwich made with a variety of meats, cheeses and condiments. It was named after Dagwood Bumstead, a central character in the comic strip Blondie, who is frequently illustrated making enormous sandwiches. According to Blondie scripter Dean Young, his father, Chic Young, began drawing the huge sandwiches in the comic strip during 1936.
Our version of the Dagwood included house-roasted turkey, ham, pork, red onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and mustard on marble Rye bread. Yum! Long live the Dagwood!
