Sandwich Heros

We don't know where National Sandwich Day came from, but we do know we love a good fast food deal. Turns out, many sandwich chains use this "holiday" as an excuse to drum up business with cheap prices (just as they do with other made-up food holidays), and we're here for it. Here are some of the best sandwich deals you can get from nationwide fast food chains for National Sandwich Day on Sunday, Nov. 3.
