Denver sandwich

Denver sandwich

A Denver sandwich, also known as a Western sandwich, consists of a Denver omelette (consisting of at least ham, onion, green pepper, and no scrambled eggs), sandwiched between two pieces of bread. The bread is commonly toasted, and the sandwich may or may not contain lettuce or other ingredients, depending on individual taste.

The sandwich has been claimed to have been invented by many different people, including Denver restaurateur _____________ in 1907 as well as ___________ , of Denver, in the same year. It has also been claimed that the “Denver sandwich” was invented at Denver’s Taber Hotel but mentions of it in newspapers predate all these claimants.[1]

As early as 1908 it was known as the “Western Sandwich”, cited in a San Antonio newspaper. A “Manhattan Sandwich” (cited from 1909) was similar in that it contained fried egg, minced ham, and onion.
