Club sandwiches

[MIGrandma]

Warm or cold? For me the only things that should be warm are the bacon and the toasted bread. I hate when the ham and turkey are warm, which they were in the one I was served this afternoon. And the bread was not toasted very well either. The bacon was really good, but there was no cheese and there definitely should be cheese on a club sandwich. I gave most of it to my husband. He had a burger and gave me some of his fries in trade. I love a really good club sandwich, so this one was very disappointing.

I agree it should be cold! I don't really care if there's cheese, as long as there is bacon and lettuce along with whatever meat. (I usually pick turkey.)

I prefer hot clubs over cold. I don’t mind my meat being heated.

(eats hot club as quick as Chip n Dale)

I prefer cold, non-toasted. DH prefers his toasted.

My bread should definitely be toasted, but I like it cold.
No cheese.

And the sandwich must be cut in triangles.
The Plaza on Main Street still serves their Club !

Yes, generally cold, excepting the toasted bread.

A club sandwich makes iceberg lettuce shine.

My mom adores club sandwiches and also Reuben sandwiches and when we would go to a restaurant Mom would always get a club sandwich and she always eats hers with a bag of chips. Even when my father would go on business trips my mother and I would order club sandwiches from room service at hotels and they are actually good. But these days when you visit a sandwich shop or a restaurant it's really hard to find a good club sandwich

Toasted bread, cold meat, no cheese, with lettuce and plenty of mayo, please.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

For club sandwiches, I think cold is the way to go.

 

[easyas123]

Cold, toasted bread w/ cheese for me.

 

[Meriweather]

Toasted bread, the rest cold

If I am going to have a hot club sandwich then it’s going to be a Monte Cristo.

Perfect club for me is non-toasted bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and turkey, with just a little black pepper on the tomato. No mayo or other condiments (can’t stand condiments on a sandwich). A side of fries or chips is good (I prefer a side of jalapeño kettle chips).

The only warm club-type sandwich I like is a hot pastrami on untoasted rye, with melted swiss, then piled high with cole slaw, and slathered with Russian dressing for tanginess. The club part comes as a sandwich shoppe here will add a second layer of corned beef. (I don't care for corned beef, so I skip that layer. Besides pastrami is a kind of a cross between bacon and corned beef, anyway.)

For other club sandwiches, I prefer cold on untoasted bread. Toasted bread hurts the roof of my mouth as usually a club sandwich is a high mouthful. Also slathered with a lot of mayo as the sandwich is too dry without it.

I've never heard of pastrami or corned beef being served as a club sandwich, In NJ they do make sandwiches with three slices of bread and two meats (pastrami, corned beef, sometimes turkey or roast beef) and refer to them as sloppy joes.

My favorite club sandwich has toasted bread, but the meat has to be cold. Plus lettuce, tomato, mayo and a little bit of vinaigrette salad dressing on 1 piece of the bread. And 2 pieces of bread, not 3.

Interesting how regionalisms play such a big part at times. The only sloppy joes I know of are made with ground beef in a thick tomato sauce, similar to bean-less chili, slathered between a hamburger bun. What makes it "sloppy" is how saucy it is.

I would have said the same until I was over 20 years old and I was served a deli style sloppy joe at someone's house. You'll find them as an option at kosher style delis
