My husband often browses the internet to learn about the origin of a word or to discover random facts related to his interests. He shares his new knowledge with anyone willing to listen. Today, he’s searching for the inventor of the French dip sandwich.

Maybe because I experimented in the kitchen by making a “dip” sandwich that’s loosely based on a delicious French dip served at our local diner. There, chunks of rotisserie chicken, thin tomato slices, and arugula are piled on a soft roll. A wooden skewer tries to hold everything together so the lucky eater can dip the sandwich into the intensely chickeny chicken au jus.
