"club sandwich" news and stories

I have fond memories of the classic Club Sandwich. I would sit patiently in the clubhouse doing homework while my Mom played out her tennis game, then share a sandwich with her, quietly pulling it all apart while watching her and her all-white-clad lady friends chatter on about life.

See, that was what I had to do -- pull the sandwich apart because the double-decker is too big to eat like a normal sandwich. Today, I still have the same problem, and wonder why the sandwich was built this way in the first place when it will eventually have to be dismantled into one regular sandwich and one open face sandwich.

The question will remain unanswered, and we certainly can't change a classic. Or can we? Though the Club sandwich is typically made with turkey breast, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes on toasted white bread with mayo, I recently had a Salmon Club sandwich on grilled sourdough. It was delicious, though I still ended up eating half of it with a fork.
