Do you ever wonder where the sandwich comes from? The name and the food dates back to the 18^th century, when John Montagu, the 4^th Earl of Sandwich, ordered a piece of meat between two slices of bread so he could eat it on the go. About a century later, a man named Fletcher Davis from Texas borrowed from the idea, sticking a ground beef patty between two buns with onion and mustard for toppings. While both the sandwich and the burger have come a long way since their beginnings, Kua’aina Sandwich in Haleiwa, HI, stays true to tradition while adding its own uniquely Hawaiian twist.

The Aloha State has been famous for many different types of sandwiches and burgers over the years, including a ham sandwich made with Hawaiian sweet rolls and the loco moco, which has been compared to a hamburger without the bun. Kua’aina Sandwich is famous for putting its own spin on local favorites. Everything is prepared with the freshest local ingredients and is made to order right in their kitchen.
