Talk:Club sandwich

message: Someone is intent on getting a line in the article about the club sandwich being invented by "a maverick line cook named Danny Mears." There's no cited support for this assertion and the wording is suspicious. I've seen a number of sources elsewhere repeating this claim copied directly from wikipedia (some cited, some not), but nothing that independently supports it. My guess is that someone knows a guy by that name and wants him to go down in internet history as the inventor of the club sandwich. Either way, they keep sneaking it in right next to a citation, which is easy to miss, and most recently someone changed the citation to point to a "source" that was lifted directly from an earlier version of the page. Someone caught the citation change and reverted it, but the text change got through.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.28.86 (talk) 02:23, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

message: thats a terrible picture, its mostly fries. someone fix this, now!
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I have always understood that the canonical "club sandwich" contained turkey, lettuce, tomato, and bacon.
See, for example: http://www.foodtv.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_15658,00.html

thread_title:  Terrible picture 

message: Most of the information here is so general as to be nearly completely useless.  Fries are commonly served with many sandwiches, and parsley is a common decoration for any type of food.  I also can't say I've heard of eating club sandwiches with ketchup.  I'm skeptical that this happens any more for clubs than for any other type of sandwich.  It'd also be nice to get a better photo; you can hardly see the club under all those fries. Pimlottc 13:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "General" Section 

message: The ingredients are almost universally turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes, however, I have seen club sandwiches with ham and roast beef as well as turkey.  I didn't really know if these are "true" clubs, or just some poor facsimile, so I included these ingredents as alternatives.  Does anybody know for sure?
:In my (US) experience, those are the standard ingrediants.  If there is a variance, it's most commonly the use of another meat instead of turkey, which is added a modifier to the name.  For example, a "chicken club" would be chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Pimlottc 12:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is also my understanding.  It's also the most obviously visual distinction between a club sandwhich and other types. Pimlottc 12:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

text: A true club would be chicken lettuce under bacon. (Literally what club stands for) 68.116.114.116 (talk) 20:34, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

message: I noted that the bread is toasted when I edited the article.  If someone wants to write a paragraph about how the bread should always be toasted, go ahead.
::For that matter, what the he** is "occasionally" toasted bread? Can understand that it may be made with plain or toasted bread, but not bread that occasionally gets toasted (like some sort of random event that sometimes happens).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.90.64 (talk) 22:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name? 

message: This article starts: "A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a sandwich with toasted bread." This would appear to be saying that the defining characteristic of a club sandwich is that it is made with toasted bread - of course, other sandwiches can be made with toasted bread but that certainly wouldn't necessarily make them club sandwiches, so something is obviously not right here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 01:26, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  and egg in a traditional club sandwich? don't think so. while turkey seems to be the meat of choice since I was a lad (maybe the last forty years), it appears that chicken breast may be more traditional. So, a basic club sandwich has bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and turkey/chicken on three slices of toast. you can possibly have one with ham, cheese, maybe even egg, but don't think you'd say those are traditional club sandwiches.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 01:37, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stub? 

message: Some time ago, McDonalds posted a video showing a chef making a big mac in a home kitchen. According to that video, the three sections of the bun were the heel (bottom), crown (top) and the club (the center). I have no evidence that this naming didn't come after the fact, however, the defining aspect of a club sandwich is that it's made with three bread layers, so this story does make sense.
