I love Club Sandwiches.
Old-fashioned Club Sandwiches
Why am I posting this on Wednesday?
Because on Wednesdays I publish stuff that pertains to work.
I don't usually eat lunch, although recently, due to my messed up post surgery colon, and my messed up pre-surgery thyroid, I have been eating very light lunches. Something like this I only have if I'm in a restaurant, and I'm only in a restaurant at noon if I'm doing so in some sort of work capacity. When I do that, I always look for the club sandwich, if we're in a place I expect to have one.
They're great.
Club Sandwiches trace back to New York of the late 19th Century, and seem to have appeared either at the Union Club of New York City or the Saratoga Club. It's not clear which. The first printed reference to them was in the Evening World, and referred to the Union Club. That was in 1889. Amazingly, in this day and age in which social clubs have taken a pounding, the Union Club, which dates to 1836, still exists as a private social club.
