National Sandwich Day occurs on November 3rd this year and celebrates a delicious and convenient food that has become ingrained in our culture. Despite the sandwich’s modern-day popularity, though, we will probably never know who invented it. 

The earliest recorded sandwiches date back to Jewish culture over 2000 years ago. What we do know is that sandwiches were named after John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, who popularized the idea sometime between the late 1600s and 1700s.

These days, there are many types of sandwiches, so everyone can find a sandwich they like. We’ll discuss some of the offerings at the Bout Time Pub and Grub Sandwich shop in this article.

The Reuben

Much like the sandwich in general, the origins of the Reuben are unclear. At least two people claimed to have invented the iconic combination of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing on rye bread.

One of them is Reuben Kulakofsky, a Nebraska grocer who invented the sandwich to feed his friends during card games. One of Reuben’s poker buddies owned a hotel and loved the sandwich so much that he began selling it to his guests. The other claimant, Arnold Reuben, was a restaurateur in New York who served something similar to a Reuben.

Kulakofsky and Reuben may have been some of the first people to serve Reuben sandwiches, but they’re far from the only ones. You can also find Reuben sandwiches on our menu at Bout Time Pub and Grub sandwich shop. Trust us when we say you won’t be disappointed.

Philly Cheesesteak

This sandwich was invented in its namesake city of Philadelphia. The basic ingredients for a cheesesteak are slices of steak, cheese, and bread. In some variations, including ours, add onions and peppers.

The Philly Cheesesteak has a fascinating history, with some claiming that the original Cheesesteak sandwich was just a steak sandwich. The cheese wasn’t added until later. Another fascinating episode happened in the 1930s when one Cheesesteak mogul started a rumor that he was using horse meat rather than beef and dared people to prove the rumor true.

Shrimp Po’Boy

The next classic sandwich on our list was born half a nation away from Philadelphia, in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. A shrimp po’boy is the quintessential Louisiana dish, combining French influence with seafood offerings from right off the coast, and the splash of heat that Cajun food is known for.

It uses French bread and a French remoulade sauce drizzled over fried shrimp, lettuce, tomatoes, sliced pickles, and, in some cases, hot sauce.

Our own version of the shrimp po’boy ditches the pickles and hot sauce and puts it all on a hoagie roll. A few small changes, but they don’t take away from the flavor.

What and Where to Eat on National Sandwich Day

With National Sandwich Day approaching, it’s important to talk about the sandwiches that helped define America’s food culture. We’ve talked about a few of these sandwiches here, but there are many more.

You can learn more at our site or by dropping by our restaurant. We have several locations in Colorado and Utah.

The FIFA World Cup has long been hailed as the pinnacle of world soccer. But, for any child playing the magical sport, the ultimate dream is to put on your country’s colors and play in front of millions watching. 

With that said, the World Cup is rich in history, and with every edition comes surprises that shock the world. Read on below to learn about five interesting FIFA World Cup facts that you probably didn’t know!

FIFA World Cup’s Most Successful Teams

Most people know Brazil has won the world cup a record five times in their history. However, few people know is that only eight countries have won the world cup. Such is the tournament’s difficulty that only Germany, Brazil, England, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, Italy, and France have managed to conquer the world. 

Oldest Player to Score in a World Cup

Cameroonian player Roger Miller has the record of being the oldest player to ever score a FIFA World Cup goal. Against Russia in the 1994 edition, Roger Miller became the oldest scorer at the ripe old age of 42 years old. 

Most Goals by One Player in a Match

In the same match that Roger Miller scored his record goal, Cameroon lost the game 6-1. Russian striker Salenko having bagged 5 of those goals for himself, which is still a record that has yet to be beaten. 

Highest Scoring Defeat

Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go so well for some teams at the tournament. El Salvador has the most unwanted record of being the team to suffer the highest-scoring defeat at the World Cup. They were thrashed 10-1 by Hungary in the group stages of the tournament. 

Funny enough, Hungary could not progress past the group stage. El Salvador, as expected, didn’t go on to win any games. 

The Success of the Home Team

There is something to be said for home team advantage. Playing on home soil, with thousands of spectators cheering for you, provides the home team with a significant advantage. This can be seen in the record books, with home teams doing surprisingly well over the years. 

Barring South Africa in 2010, every home team has gone on to the last 16 of the tournament, while a host nation has won the tournament six times. The countries that overcame the pressure were Uruguay in 1930, Italy in 1934, England in 1966, West Germany in 1974, Argentina in 1978, and most recently, France in 1998. 

A Fairy-Tale Tournament

For many nations vying to win the tournament, the FIFA World Cup is not only a competition to see who is the best at that moment but is a tournament where dreams are made and lost. However, who knows what the future holds and who might get to carve their names into the history books?

Sports bars aren’t all beer and shots! Well, at least ours isn’t. We made our drink menu to cater to everyone who walks through our door, including sports fanatics and their family/friends. 

But don’t take it from us! Instead, read up on the Bout Time Pub and Grub Cocktails that we make most often below. 

1. Moscow Mule 

You either love a Moscow Mule, or you hate it. There aren’t many people who are in between on this copper-mug classic. You may not know that this drink is what brought Vodka to popularity in the US, as opposed to eastern Europe, where it gets its name. 

A classic mule contains vodka, ginger beer, ice, and lime. Our classic mule is still one of the most popular choices at Bout Time, but we like to give people options. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make it fruity with peach vodka (A Peach Mule) or make it all-American with Jack Daniels’ instead of vodka.

Feeling even spicier? Make it a Tennesee Fire Mule with Jack Daniel’s version of cinnamon whiskey. The combination of the cinnamon and the ginger beer makes this a fun, warm, and comforting cocktail. 

Or better yet, make it a goal to try them all as a devout Pub and Grub patron! 

2. Grape Lime Rickey 

Some drinks get their names from where they’re from (see above), while others get their names from what’s in them, like our house favorite Grape Lime Rickey. This cocktail is both sweet and sour, making it the perfect thing to take the edge off of a long day. 

It’s fruity without being girly and one of our most-ordered drinks. Our Rickey’s include Three Olives Grape flavored vodka, gape pucker, lemon-lime soda, and freshly-squeezed lime juice. 

If you loved grape soda as a kid, you’ll love this version all-dressed up in a cocktail glass. Pairs perfectly with a jumbo soft pretzel. 

3. Dragon’s Nectar 

Looking for something that is a vacation in a cup? Dragon’s Nectar will make you feel like you’re at the beach and give you a kick to get through those late-night games with a splash of Red Bull. 

Think of it as a grown-up fruit punch meets a Red Bull and vodka. It’s the perfect drink to start the evening when you’re in for a long match or want to hold out all night for a late-night fight. 

Careful though, this drink is so good, it goes down fast! 

4. Bout Time Freshest Margarita

Looking for something that’s not going to push you over your calories for the day but is more exciting than a vodka soda? Our house margarita is made “skinny” with El Jimador Silver, Cointreau, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave nectar for the perfect sweetness. 

Paired with our Queso or Stuffed Jalapenos, it’s perfection.

When it comes to sports trivia, it’s hard to beat baseball. And there’s no event in baseball that fans love to talk about more than the World Series. Here we take a look at 6 World Series trivia facts that only the biggest baseball fans will know. So stick around and test your knowledge of the history of the World Series to see how you stack up against your family and friends! 

1. Who are the Current World Champions?

Millions of people watch the World Series every single year, but that doesn’t mean they remember what team won the most recent series. In this case, the reigning 2021 World Champions happen to be the Atlanta Braves from Atlanta, Georgia.

2. Who Holds the Record for Most Championships?

Do you know which MLB team holds the record for the most World Championships? Even a new baseball fan should be able to guess the name of this team without much trouble. But for those who need a little help, the answer is: The New York Yankees.

Believe it or not, the Yankees have appeared in 40 championship series, winning an astounding 27 times.

3. How Many Teams Have Won the World Series?

Now let’s look at how many teams have won the World Series.

Drumroll, please: a total of 117 World Series have been played, with the AL winning 66 and the NL winning 51. This statistic includes the current champs, the Atlanta Braves.

4. What Pitcher Has the Most Strikeouts in a Single Game?

Here’s the toughest trivia question so far: what pitcher holds the record for the most strikeouts in the World Series, and what year did he achieve it? The answer: Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals struck out 17 Detroit Tigers on October 2nd, 1968.

That means his record has now stood for 54 years.

5. What was the First World Series Ever Played?

The answer to our next trivia question is perhaps the least-known among baseball facts. The first World Series game was played on December 28, 1902. But it wasn’t a baseball game. It was actually a professional football game.

Reggie Jackson and Sandy Koufax each won the World Series MVP title twice, but no MLB player has ever won it 3 times.

Did you know that almost 900 thousand people watched Wimbledon on average in 2019? The tennis championship is popular for people to view on television or even in person.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about Wimbledon history and other details? Here are some Wimbledon facts that will give you a great introduction to the prestigious sports competition.

1. It’s The World’s Oldest Tennis Tournament

The first Wimbledon tournament occurred in 1877, meaning the competition is almost 150 years old. However, unlike today’s professionals, the 21 tennis players were amateurs.

The All England Lawn Club was founded less than a decade before for croquet. The entrance fee was one pound and one shilling.

2. Wimbledon Uses Grass Courts

When you go to play tennis, you may think of clay or blacktop courts. However, one of the most unique Wimbledon facts is that the courts are made of grass.

On a grass court, the tennis ball is much more likely to have a consistent bounce. However, the ball has less bounce due to the softer material and also goes lower.

Wimbledon stands out from other competitions because it encourages volleying with the grass courts, making the game more engaging for viewers.

3. The Competition is Two Weeks Long

Rather than a single-day event, Wimbledon takes place in a series of games over two weeks. These include men’s and women’s singles and doubles categories as well.

Many people visit local bars and pubs with their friends for drinks and delicious food during their favorite matches. But, by far, the most popular games to view are the championship rounds.

4. Centre Court is the Most Popular

Of course, any court at any tournament gets attention. For Wimbledon, the Center Court is your best bet if you want to see the most action and fanfare.

The top events occur in the Centre Court, including the finals for every category. However, tickets for the Centre Court also have the highest price tag.

5. A Substantial Cash Reward for Winners

One of the biggest draws of Wimbledon is, no doubt, the cash prize. The winner will bank two million pounds in prize money for the championship.

Even if you are a finalist, you can expect to make about half that for making it to the final round.

Think About These Wimbledon Facts

If you want to attend Wimbledon, you should know about these key Wimbledon facts before you go to the tournament. With your knowledge of Wimbledon history, you can have an even more educated viewpoint on all things related to the famous tennis competition.

Did you know that the non-profit sector is the 3rd largest employer in the US? Between just Colorado and Utah, there are over thirty thousand non-profit organizations!

What if you could support these organizations every time you eat out? We all know that they do amazing work and that funding can be a nightmare. So why not do whatever we can to help them?

Bout Time Pub & Grub Sports Bar believes in supporting local organizations, and we do so through our charitable programs. Keep reading to find out which organizations Bout Time supports so you can also support them!

Organizations Bout Time Pub & Grub Sports Bar Supports

The world is an incredible place with many organizations that deserve support. This is a small list of some of the places that Bout Time believes in. We strongly believe in making the world a better place, and these organizations are doing their part.

Row4 ALS Foundation

Five intrepid rowers have taken on the monumental challenge of rowing more than three thousand miles from the Canary Islands to Antigua.

Alan Alderman, one of the rowers, has this to say about this historic event:

“My personal goal is to show that a diagnosis of ALS is not the end but the beginning of a journey that has challenges and many great blessings. ALS may end my life, but it will not destroy  it!”

A grueling journey across the Atlantic; this kind of opportunity doesn’t come up very often. We are honored to sponsor this fantastic team.

University of Utah Clinical Neurosciences Clinic

The Clinical Neurosciences Center gives neuroradiology, neurology, and neurosurgery services to many in Salt Lake City and beyond. Their aim is to treat diseases as early as possible, focusing on everything from common migraines all the way up to ALS and beyond.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential – many neurological issues can be avoided altogether if caught early enough.

Children’s Tumor Foundation

The Children’s Tumor Foundation passionately believes in creating a world without NF. What’s NF, you say? Neurofibromatosis (NF) causes tumors to grow along nerves all over the body. Three distinct disorders fall under the NF umbrella. You can learn more about them on the organization’s website.

Every cent donated to this worthy organization goes towards making the world a better place, something we can get behind!

Pats (Tillman) Run

Pats Run is the main fundraiser for the Pat Tillman Foundation’s Tillman Scholars program. Taking place this year in Tempe. Arizona on 23 April 2022, the run helps to further the foundation’s mission.

The Pat Tillman Foundation’s mission is to bring military service members, veterans, and spouses together and help them become the next generation of public and private sector leaders.

Utah Veterans Alliance

So often, when public funding is being handed out, Veterans are at the back of the line. Though many organizations help out our veterans, the Utah Veterans Alliance works specifically for Utah Heroes.

They provide ongoing support for military members in need and are a worthy addition to the list of organizations that Bout Time supports.

Support the World, Get Great Food

Now that you know a little about some of the organizations’ Bout Time supports, it’s time to help us support them. We work hard to make the world a better place, and we also make great food to go along with it!

So come on down to one of our locations in Utah or Colorado and see what real food and a neighborhood vibe feels like.

Did you know that 80 million chicken wings are consumed each year in the United States?

This includes teriyaki wings, buffalo wings, Asian-sesame glazed wings, sriracha wings, garlic wings, and the list goes on and on.

If you’re still trying to figure out what wing sauces you like best on your wings, you’re not alone! There are just so many to try!

Luckily, there are plenty of Bout Time Pub & Grub wing sauces to choose from if you are still deciding.

Read on to learn more about the sauces we have!

Mild Buffalo

Buffalo wing sauce is the most common type of wing sauce. When you think about wings, you most likely think about buffalo sauces and spice.

However, not all buffalo sauce is created the same! Some are spicy while some are not, some are mild and some are hot – they are all different!

At Bout Time Pub & Grub, our mild buffalo is perfect if you like a tiny bit of spice on your wings without it overpowering the rest of the flavor.

So what is buffalo sauce? It’s a hot sauce enhanced with a few other ingredients.

So for hot sauce, it is a mix of vinegar, cayenne, and salt. To make it buffalo sauce, you add butter and a few other ingredients. Sometimes this is garlic, sometimes there are other things added!

Captain Morgan Teriyaki

If you are a teriyaki lover, there’s nothing better than a little Captain Morgan Teriyaki on your wings.

This is a mixture of soy sauce, sake, ginger, and other flavorings. Our teriyaki sauce is mixed with Captain Morgan to bring you something a little bit different on your wings.

It’s tangy, yet sweet. You won’t want to go without trying these wings.

Spicy BBQ

If you like a mix of BBQ, spices, garlic, and other flavorings, then our Spicy BBQ wing sauce will be your first choice.

BBQ sauce has a mixture of ketchup, honey, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices. For our BBQ specifically, we like to make it extra spicy to cater to those who love their taste buds to burn a bit.

Whether you take the extra crispy or savory smoked, spicy BBQ is the perfect sauce to put on them.

Chili Garlic

It’s no surprise that we are a country of garlic lovers. We eat it without even knowing we’re eating it, and when we do want it, we eat it by the clove.

Our Chili Garlic sauce won’t disappoint if you are a garlic lover.

Try All of Our Bout Time Wing Sauces

Whether you like to enjoy wings on special occasions or try all of the wing sauces in your area, we want you to try ours! Whether you try the buffalo, the garlic, or another one of our sauces like our Sweet Chili, the Dry Rub, Tangy Gold, the Fire, the Fire Cracker sauce, or the Classic Mandarin, you’ll be sure to love them.
