However, Coles claims to have originated the sandwich shortly after the restaurant opened in 1. Philippes claims that owner Philippe Mathieu invented it in 1. French dip, with bowl of jus for dipping. The story of the sandwichs invention by Philippes has several variants some sources say that it was first created by a cook or a server who, while preparing a sandwich for a police officer or fireman, accidentally dropped it into a pan of meat drippings. The patron liked it, and the dish surged in popularity shortly after its invention. Other accounts say that a customer who didnt want some meat drippings to go to waste requested his sandwich be dipped in them. Still others say that a chef dipped a sandwich into a pan of meat drippings after a customer complained that the bread was stale. Coles account states that the sandwich was invented by a sympathetic chef, Jack Garlinghouse, for a customer who was complaining of sore gums. Some accounts tell Philippes version of events, but assign the location to Coles. The mystery of the sandwichs invention might not be solved due to a lack of information and observable evidence. The French dip is now served at a number of restaurant chains including fast food places, diners, and standard restaurants. See alsoeditReferenceseditExternal linksedit.
