The original signature Horseshoe Sandwich was created in 1928 at the Leland Hotel by Chef Joe Schweska. The name "horseshoe" came from the shape of the cut of ham used in the original sandwich. The French fries represented the nails of the shoe, and the sizzle platter represented the hot anvil. This culinary dish can be found at almost any Springfield eatery with a variety of creative options to choose from.
