THE ADVENTURES OF
ERBERT & GERBERT: SANDWICH STORIES
BRINGING ADVENTURE TO LIFE THROUGH CREATIVE SANDWICH NAMES
You might notice a unique language in the Erbs & Gerbs world — sandwich nicknames like Narmer, Boney Billy, and Girf. What’s that all about? To us, it’s about bringing two characters, (Erbert & Gerbert), and the tales of their adventures to life.
Every sandwich name has a story and every story takes place….Out of This World.
IT ALL STARTED WITH SANDWICH STORIES
Our blastoff began with a series of bedtime stories told by a father to his 10 grandchildren. The stories were known as, The Adventures of Erbert & Gerbert Herbert. He created these stories to teach his children about science, history, adventure, and the importance of being a good friend.
One of those children grew up to be the founder of Erbert & Gerbert’s. In tribute to his father, his family, and his fond memories of those bedtime tales, he named his sandwich shop Erbert & Gerbert’s.
All the names of the sandwiches on the original stores’ menu were named after the characters in those stories his father used to tell.
The first location opened in 1988 in the fine, fine town of Eau Claire, WI, and has since grown to over 80 locations across 8 states.
Every Erbert & Gerbert’s is a sandwich shop built on memories, that’s dedicated to serving better, more flavorful sandwiches than anyone else in the universe.
BEING OUT OF THIS WORLD IS NOT A CHOICE. IT’S A LIFESTYLE
At Erbert & Gerbert’s, we’re serious about delivering total flavor satisfaction by tempting taste buds in a whole new way. We believe you shouldn’t have to settle for the ordinary, humdrum or expected. Erbert & Gerbert’s is a place where flavor is not just a word, but a way of life.
We bake our bread fresh daily, hand slice our veggies, meats, and cheeses for ultimate freshness, and craft chef-inspired soup recipes to be anything but bland.
We pride ourselves on out of this world flavor combinations. Whether it’s cherrywood smoked bacon atop peppadew mustard or pesto infused mayo accompanying sun-dried tomatoes, you can expect our wacky sandwich names to inspire a tastebud supernova.
HAVE YOU
SEEN KYLE?
HAVE A SANDWICH; YA HERO!
Yeah, you heard us… Have you seen Kyle, our talking sandwich friend? He’s a bit crass, but don’t worry he’s a tasteful gent. You’ll find him having casual conversations with his sandwich brethren about delightfully confusing food mashups like the Cranberry-Wasabi Chicken Sandwich. But don’t bore him with trivial mustard chats… get on his mustard level.
