A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a type of sandwich frequently served as a double-decker sandwich, requiring three (rather than two) slices of toasted bread. The traditional club ingredients are turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise served on toasted bread. Variations substitute another meat for the turkey (chicken breast and roast beef are common) and possibly ham for the bacon. Cheese and mustard may also be used.

Regarding the origins of the Club sandwich, the most popular theory is that it first appeared in 1894 at the famous Saratoga Club-House (in Saratoga Springs, New York) - also the home of the original American french fry.^{[citation needed]}

Club sandwiches may also contain a "secret sauce," which is usually particular to a specific restaurant. Club sandwiches made in the southwestern United States often include some type of chili or pepper in order to give it a "local" flair.

International

In Denmark a club sandwich refers to a toasted bread or bun sandwich with a filling of chicken, curry dressing, bacon, and usually lettuce and tomato.

In Canada, some of the best and most traditional Clubs are found in Quebec, where it is fairly standard on take-out and "casse-croute" (snack bar) menues.

In the UK, club sandwiches have begun to appear on the menus of Deli-style outlets and fast-food chains.
