Who invented wraps

But he'd like us to better remember him by his clever skills in the kitchen he's also a restaurateur when he served the first sandwich wrap at his restaurant in Stamford, Connecticut. One of his regulars happened to also be the banker who loaned him money for the eatery and he always ordered the turkey club. But it was one fateful day when the eatery's toaster had broken and the banker ordered the same club sandwich that everything changed.

I rolled it up and I melted a little cheese on the top to keep the tortilla from opening up. And I said: 'Tell him, we don't have club sandwiches today but this is a club Mex. The banker, and others, liked the concept and soon it was a permanent fixture on the menu as the "club sandwich wrap" with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. While Valentine knows he didn't invent the first hand-held food wrapped inside a tortilla, he believes he was the first to put American ingredients inside a tortilla wrap.

The phrase first appears in the Oxford English Dictionary in , and the expectation has long been that the first sandwich wraps appeared in the late s. My reaction is that that's more of a s thing. But if he's got primary evidence saying he's got , he could well be the first person to identify a sandwich wrap. At Valentine's Stamford restaurant, the wrap is touted as "Bobby's Original Creation," made with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and melted cheese, rolled in a jalapeno cheese wrap.

There are menus on display from the early s listing it as an option, but little proof earlier than that. Bobby V's restaurant manager Chris Sinatra has worked with Valentine since the mid s, and vouched that he has been selling the Club Mex that entire time. Valentine's chef made the claim that the wrap was first on a Food Network special on Valentine's restaurant, and the legend has grown since then. Every time I hear them say that [Valentine] made it, I start yelling—we've been making wraps in Lebanon forever," Saba said.

When pressed, though, he stopped short of saying that the popular incarnation of the wrap—a tortilla rolled around sandwich fillings—was first seen at Sami's. We never called it that—we called it a roll-up, and we use Syrian bread, Lebanese bread," Saba said.

So Valentine seems to have as good a claim as anyone. Freyja Tasci. Who invented beeswax wraps? In Freyja Tasci of Apiwraps discovered a traditional product and made it new again!
