I make one at work, and it confusing as hell to me. For those of you who don’t know, a club sandwich standardly contains lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, bacon, and some sort of mayo based sauce. Its gimmick is that it’s a sandwich on top of a sandwich, using 3 pieces of bread instead of the standard 2. Instead of being something that you can realistically take a bite of, the club sandwich specializes in being absolutely fucking impossible to take a bite out of. Do club sandwich enjoyers just completely unhinge their jaw and schmack like they’re in Scooby Doo? What does the third piece of bread even add to the sandwich other than more height? Why don’t you add a 4th piece of bread and just have 2 sandwiches?
At work, we cut them in quarters and put sticks through 2 quarters, making a kebab of sandwich. I literally cannot imagine how these fuckers eating this are doing it. Eating a sandwich like corn on the cob is a disturbing thought, but possible. This is one of the dumbest pieces of food I can ever imagine
I’m a sandwich smasher
I will always press it down flat unless it would completely destroy the sandwich
But for most sandwiches, it makes them far more manageable

Probably the same people who get high with their dog and eat dog food, then.
Literally me
Zoinks!
I’m not sure I’ve ever had a double decker club sandwich. I don’t think that’s a requirement. The ingredients are what defines it and they’re pretty good.
If I ordered a club sandwich and didn’t get a double decker, I’d infer that my application had been declined.
Every place I’ve ever worked at does a double decker club sandwich if they had one. I looked it up and it’s very common for modern club sandwiches to be double decker.
I have no problems with the ingredients, but the form factor I’ve seen is disturbing
I take a big bite yim yum idk maybe i have snake mouth but i just squeeze it down like any other big sandwich
What does the third piece of bread even add to the sandwich other than more height?

I can only imagine eating one at a restaurant so probably 2 sandwiches would cost more. I don’t see why you couldn’t do a “2 sandwiches and fries” combo instead though that sounds fine.
The coffee shop/cafe near my flat has a “vegan club sandwich” on the menu and I was kinda excited, until by “vegan club sandwich” they meant two layers of avocado and one layer of vegan sausages. what the fuck? not even seasoned !!!
there’s a pretty good niche for vegan cafes and restaurants that is “we actually know how to make food” where you don’t try and do healthy shit and you actually use salt
I ordered a club sandwich all the time. But I’m not even a member. I don’t know how I get away with it.

Toast sandwich
eating huge portions was the boomer version of epic reddit bacon
The original Jughead probably escaped angsting about The Wife by just remaining single and enjoying his massive sandwiches, I suppose.
the tripple decker is when the fillings exceed the bread and unbalance the flavor/texture profile, so in newtonian necessity a third bread is added to fix it.

yes
See, maybe it’s just because of where I worked, but with restaurant portion control it could very easily just be made into one sandwich and there would still be no need for a third piece of bread imo.
something something simulacrum of the original necessity
I just assume that a normal sandwich just feels like something you’d have at home, but a club sandwich is a special delicacy you’d order from a fine dining establishment.
Y’know, at first I wanted to say “you yankees have such werid names for things”, but then I looked up what that was and now I’m like, yeah that’s gotta have it’s own specific name
I’m totally a club guy, but I’ve never had the extra bread. I would take it out! I don’t want any more bread than the absolute minimum necessary for me to hold the thing and cram it into my angry chew hole.
this one cafe I used to get them at regularly would toast them for me in a panini maker, smashing them even further. that was my gold standard.

Usually you crush it down. Alot of the golf courses, (death to America etc.) around here serve that, but the bread isn’t like, a sourdough so it flattens pretty easy. It’s no Reuben though.
I guess I have a big mouth? But flavor-wise, it’s a good balance. The turkey is more lean and soft, the ham fatty and salty. Fatty and salty for the cheese as well, but on the softer end. The fact that they’re on the big side never really dawned on me, but I’m more a sucker for a club salad if I had to pick.
I’m fine with the ingredients, just not the third piece of bread I see commonly put on them. The ones I put together at work are fucking massive and make me question who actually eats them
Ah, fair enough then.
