Awkward.<\/p>\n<p>There are 21 (now 20) Earl of Sandwich locations in the U.S., with Las Vegas locations at Planet Hollywood, Fashion Show Mall, Downtown Summerlin and Spring Valley. There are also locations in Canada, France and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Earl of Sandwich is a fast-casual sandwich chain inspired by the lore around John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who some believe &#8220;invented&#8221; the sandwich in 1762 by asking for roast beef between bread so he could eat while playing cards. The restaurant brand launched in 2004 when Lord John Montagu, the 11th Earl of Sandwich, his son Orlando Montagu and Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl partnered to create Earl of Sandwich restaurants.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s no Scotch 80, but Earl of Sandwich is consistently satisfying, much like your mom. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ihSiUV6Mev\">pic.twitter.com\/ihSiUV6Mev<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VitalVegas\/status\/1811269276248248777?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Earl of Sandwich has already been bumped from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palms.com\/dining\/quick-bites\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palms Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Remaining in the Palms food court: McDonald&#8217;s, Panda Express, The Coffee Bean, Yo Mochi and 604loha Grill.<\/p>\n<p>The loss of Earl of Sandwich might not be headline news, but we consider it a blow for Palms.
