The Story Behind It

The Tale of Club Sandwich

Story updated

The club sandwich is often traced to the Saratoga Club House, a gambling house and restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in the 1890s, where the double-decker format is said to have first appeared. It became a fixture of American hotel and diner menus soon after.

Ingredients

Scale:· 2 servings
  • 6 slices bread, toasted

  • 2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
  • 4 leaves lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
