In 2000, Burger King came under fire for its chicken club, which contained 700 calories, 44 grams of fat (nine of them saturated), and 1,300 milligrams of sodium, as well as the trans fat from the fryer shortening. Due to high fat and carbohydrate content from the bread, bacon and dressing, club sandwiches have sometimes been criticized as unhealthy. The coleslaw or potato salad is often reduced to a "garnish" portion, when the primary accompaniment is an order of french fries or potato chips. The sandwich is commonly served with an accompaniment of either coleslaw or potato salad, and often garnished with a pickle. Upscale variations include the oyster club, the salmon club, and Dungeness crab melt. Various kinds of mustard and sliced pickles may be added. Others use ham instead of, or in addition to, bacon, or add slices of cheese. Some replace the poultry meat with eggs (a "breakfast club") or roast beef. Variations on the traditional club sandwich abound. The sandwich is usually dressed with mayonnaise. Ingredients Īs with a BLT, toasted white bread is standard, along with iceberg lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes. An 1897 recipe has three layers, with the chicken and ham separated not by a slice of bread, but by a lettuce leaf. Historically, club sandwiches featured slices of chicken, but with time, turkey has become increasingly common. The earliest reference to the sandwich in published fiction is from Conversations of a Chorus Girl, a 1903 book by Ray Cardell. Other sources find the origin of the club sandwich to be up for debate. Īnother theory is that the club sandwich was invented at the Saratoga Club in Saratoga Springs, New York, after Richard Canfield bought it and made it into the Canfield Casino in 1894. The earliest known reference to the sandwich, an article that appeared in The Evening World on November 18, 1889, is also an early recipe: "Have you tried a Union Club sandwich yet? Two toasted pieces of Graham bread, with a layer of turkey or chicken and ham between them, served warm." Several other early references also credit the chef of the Union Club with creating the sandwich. The club sandwich may have originated at the Union Club of New York City.
