Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich?

I have two pieces of bread and wish I had some marshmallow.

This article is weird. It says club sandwiches have endured while chaffing dishes and Waldorf salads have not. Maybe I'm weird, but I will take a chicken Waldorf salad in pita over a club sandwich any day. Waldorf is delicious. Club sandwiches are pretty drab.

Club sandwiches have bacon. They are not drab.

The club sandwich done right requires some skill. I learned it the hard way working as a chef. If the bread or bacon are too crisp, the sandwich will crumble when you cut it. If you put the tomato right on the bread, it gets soggy. We always cut the sandwich into four triangles, so accuracy was key.

That said, adding turkey to a BLT seems to me like gilding the lily.

Turkey clubs are good.
