Sandwich of the Day: Club

 


From the Kinja Archive. Still a few sandwich posts I haven't recreated. An Illeana Douglas reference: "When in doubt, order the club sandwich." A truism. Photos from Wiki.


Tuesday lunch was at a place I had never been to. Club sandwich, fries, iced tea. Other people had gumbo.
