It isn't always a chef, though. Every once in a while dish is born out of necessity rather than experimentation. In these cases, an ingredient was not available, so a person had to think quickly and use what was on hand. One great example is the evolution of the sandwich into a wrap. Wraps seem like a sandwich, but technically they aren't.
Who invented the wrap?
The sandwich, which is made up of food served between two slices of bread, was made popular by John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich. Wraps gained popularity in the United States in the 1990's. Rather than two slices of bread, instead ingredients are served on one piece of flatbread, generally a tortilla, and rolled up.
Wraps may have been invented in California by the "I Love Juicy" chain in the early 1980's to resemble a Tex-Mex burrito. The OVO Bistro in New York City introduced its wrap, "The King Edward," in 1990.
Later, in the mid-1990's, the Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford, Connecticut declared that they invented the wrap. As the story goes, a waitress at the restaurant served a "wrap" to the customer because they had run out of bread. When asked about the other stories of who invented the wrap, Valentine was quoted as saying, "Well, that's legend and folklore, but until somebody disputes me or comes up with a better story, I'll say I invented the wrap."
Wobbly Wraps
We may not have invented it, but we have perfected it! All of our wraps are served with your choice of one side dish, or you may substitute a garden salad, a cup of soup, a half order of onion rings or a half order of Texas fries for a small additional charge.
The Wrangler
A wheat tortilla stuffed with three of our signature items: pulled pork, legendary baked beans & creamy coleslaw. We then place it on our grill and toast the tortilla, blending all three flavors, which makes one incredible WRAP!
