The New York Deli, aJewish deli founded in 1929, claims to be the originator of the sailor sandwich.[1][5] According to local legend, duringWorld War II, Navy seamen from the University of RichmondNavy V-12 program would frequent the New York Deli and order this then-nameless sandwich. It eventually became known as a sailor sandwich, although it is uncertain who officially named the sandwich.[1][5]

Richmond aspires to be a much bigger town than it is, and food and drink culture has a lot to do with what a city is known for. I am hoping we can move away from having shrimp and grits, crab cakes and a sailor sandwich on every menu.
The Sailor Sandwich at Chiocca's. People may argue over which establishment serves the best sailor sandwich in Richmond, but Chiocca's and its dive-y atmosphere has to win. The Sailor, a pile of pastrami topped with grilled knackwurst, melted Swiss and deli mustard on rye, is a carnivore's dream.
