Origins
The New York Deli, founded in 1929, claims to be the originator of the sailor sandwich.[5] The eatery moved to its current location in Carytown in 1934.[1] According to local legend, during World War II, Navy seamen from the University of Richmond Navy 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]

In popular culture
- Patricia Cornwell, whose Kay Scarpetta novels often take place in the Richmond area, included characters ordering and eating sailor sandwiches in Cause of Death[6] and Cruel and Unusual.[7]
- In Guy Fieri's book, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: An All-American Road Trip, the chapter on Virginia features Dot's Back Inn in Richmond as a place to get a sailor sandwich.[8] Dot's Back Inn and the sailor sandwich were featured in an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives filmed in 2007.[9]

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.
