To burn it off
A club sandwich is three slices of toast stacked with chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo, cut into triangles. Hotel room service and poolside menus have it everywhere.
One is about 590 kcal, with 35 g of protein, 45 g of carbs and 30 g of fat. The bacon and the mayo do most of the fat.
It's usually served with fries or crisps, which can nearly double it. The sandwich on its own is a decent meal.
Tips
- 1Ask for a side salad instead of the fries.
- 2Ask for light mayo, or leave the bacon out.
- 3Eat half and take the other half for later, it's a big one.
Where it comes from
Nobody knows for sure. The earliest known mention is from 1889, in a New York newspaper describing toasted bread with turkey or chicken and ham, and several early sources credit the chef of the Union Club in Manhattan. Another story places it at the Saratoga Club House in Saratoga Springs in 1894. By 1899 it was on restaurant menus across the US.
