A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a type of sandwich sometimes served as a double-decker. The double-decker version is usually cut into quarters, and often held together by toothpicks. The traditional club ingredients are chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The sandwich is usually served on toasted bread, but untoasted bread can be used. Ham is sometimes substituted for bacon, and turkey sometimes for chicken. The club sandwich was invented in an exclusive Saratoga Springs, New York gambling club in the late 19th Century.[1]
