Stack your BLT sky high and toss on some turkey and you’ve got yourself a club sandwich. This tall sandwich is a real mouthful — layers upon layers of toasty bread, crisp bacon, and savory turkey, plus lettuce, tomato, and mayo stack up to create the classic club. The only limit is how much sandwich you can fit in your mouth in one bite.
SANDWICH FACTS
In 1894, the club sandwich is rumored to have been created at the Saratoga Club House, a gambling establishment in Saratoga Springs, New York.
The club sandwich has a more formal name too — the clubhouse sandwich.
The first recipe for a club sandwich appears in the Good Housekeeping Everyday Cook Book in 1903.
Club sandwiches are usually cut into quarters, making them triangle shaped and easier to eat when the sandwich is stacked high!
