SANDWICH CONTEST PICKS A WINNER

James Monroe finally has a sandwich to call his own— and it is No. 21 on the Virginia Deli’s menu.

The downtown Fredericksburg restaurant and the James Monroe Museum & Memorial Library held a contest recently to pick a sandwich representing the nation’s fifth president.

The winner, a variation of the Philly cheese steak, commemorates Monroe’s time as a delegate to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
