A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a sandwich of toasted bread, sliced poultry, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.[1][2] It is often cut into quarters and held together by hors d'œuvre sticks. It is notable for having two layers which are separated by an additional slice of bread.
Historically, club sandwiches featured slices of chicken, but with time, turkey has become increasingly common.[3] Other common club sandwiches generally vary the bottom layer, for example, a "roast beef club" or a "breakfast club". Variations might include ham (instead of, or in addition to bacon) and/or cheese slices. Vegetarian club sandwiches often include hummus, avocado, and sprouts.[4]
As with a BLT, the club sandwich is usually served on toasted bread. Mayonnaise and mustard and sometimes honey mustard are common condiments. The sandwich is commonly served with a side portion of either coleslaw, or potato salad, and often accompanied by a pickle. The coleslaw or potato salad is often reduced to a "garnish" portion, when the primary side item is an order of French fries or potato chips. Upscale variations include, for example, the salmon club, and Dungeness crab melt.[3] The lobster club from Arcardia's restaruant in New York,[2][3]
One popular theory is that the club sandwich was invented in an exclusive Saratoga Springs, New York, gambling club in the late 19th century.[5]
The sandwich is known to have appeared on U.S. restaurant menus as far back as 1899.[6]
