Last week I went to a nicer [read: expensive] restaurant, and was served a "Caesar" salad that was garnished with grape tomatoes and English cucumber slices.

>English cucumber slices
That's pretty normal for places that need to find a way to justify charging you $30 for a Caesar. Usually they'll use a thin, length-wise slice to wrap some of the leaves from the romaine heart and drop two croutons and a microscopic sliver of prosciutto alongside it. I don't get it, but it's really fairly common. As for the tomatoes, I have no fucking idea what's going on there.

>extra slice of bread

it's unnecessary and you don't really need the extra carbs...do YOU?

>not toasted

with a rather large sammich, like a club that you need to take really big deep throat bites, the toast has a tendency to scratch the roof of my mouth so I'd prefer it to be untoasted.

>yep, heading to SW now for a superior club experience.

At Subway they ask you if you want it toasted. And if they forgot, you simply say "Excuse me, I'd like the Bread toasted."

Also, Subway isn't a regular sandwich shop, you should know they aren't going to put an extra piece of bread in there. If you're complaint is simply that the sub is known as a "Turkey Club", well, then you've got some bigger issues to worry about.

>Fast food restaurant chains, such as Blimpie and Subway, have their own variation of a club sandwich. These chains specifically use "hoagie" or submarine style rolls in their sub sandwiches, and their club sandwiches follow the same pattern, as opposed to the traditional three slices of toasted bread.

a club is defined as a three-tier sandwich.

Hey listen fattie, if you were wondering why you're fat, just think about it while you shove an extra slice of junk in your trunk bread on the sammich.

I was a food critic for 4 years, wrote over 200 reviews, and I rarely saw a Caesar salad that deviated from the classic combination of romaine, croutons, hard aged cheese, and tossed with lemon, garlic, anchovy dressing emulsified with egg yolk.
Some places served it whole leaf, others split and grilled the head, one made a Parmesan tuile, then molded it into a half circle (the chef said he melts shredded Parm on a silpat with a stencil, then cools them on a #10 can to achieve the shape), propping it up with a bundle of leaves so the tuile resembled a sail.
But few fucked with the traditional ingredients. If they did, I really took them to task over it.

Smaller city. One page column in the corny weekly local entertainment "magazine" insert. It didn't pay much and I had a real job also.
The editor wouldn't actually let me have a blog without the content being pre-approved, which took any of the intimacy and spontaneity out of blogging, so I never had one.
I was in actual print on paper. I don't give a fuck whether you believe me.

That's why you go home and make them yourself. I wouldn't expect anyone from /ck/ to actually go out and pay for such a basic looking sandwich.

The problem lays not in the missing middle layer of bread.
The problem lays not in the un-toasted sandwich.
You must search within, my padawan. There, you will find your answers.
You must start somewhere. Ask yourself, why did you want a club sandwich to begin with?
Once you made the decision to obtain one, why did you choose to get it from the place you got it from?
By choosing to go there, what did you expect your sandwich to consist of?

My apprentice, the problem lays not in the lack of middle layer or the lack of a fine toast. The problem........it is much deeper, it is much more personal. I want you to meditate on the particular chain of events and thoughts that drove you to having a meal at Subway. That is the key to your plight.

Consider that Subway in and as itself is not the issue at hand. Consider that you made a conscious decision to obtain sustenance from there, and meditate on that decision.

Feel your regret, embrace your regret.

I used to like the toothpicks with the colored plastic like in OP's pic when I was a kid...made a restaurant BLT or club way cooler...damn I was a sucker for silly presentation. :-)

This guy gets it.
I like Subway. If I'm going to get something fast and cheap from a drive-through window, it's going to be from Subway, because it's substantial, and I can make it healthy.
Would I get pissed if their "club sandwich" didn't come out looking like it does at the country club? Fuck no.
Because I don't expect Subway to upend their entire process to please sticklers like yourself.
Order a sandwich that Subway can come somewhat close to reproducing, like a cheese steak or something.
Personally, I order Subs the way I did ten years ago before they thought they had to compete with Quizno's and started installing toasters.
I like a BMT with lots of veggies and peppers.
If I want a toasted double decker turkey, bacon, cheese on sourdough cut into quarters, surrounding a pile of fries, I'll get that after golfing at the country club.

Cocktail swords are better. They just barely fit into the grip of G.I. Joes. Since I usually lost the weapons, I could always get swords from the Eagles club my dad watered at after work.

>>4661997
you are correct sir, sub way is good/average for bmts and some things. for a correct club, it is (il sont neccesare) to have three slices of toasted bread. layer the first, with delie ham and chesse, apply second slice of bread. layer crisp bacon, and lettuce tomato and mayo and add a thin slice of turkey to keep the Dr. and others off your ass so you can say"what?" I had a turkey sandwich. dirnk a beer or soda. erp. say a prayer and thank your God you don't have to eat that dry tasteless bird more than twice a year. becauce the really best part is the stuffing, no offense to Ben Franklin or his realitives, and he was a wise man, but wild turkeys are dumber than a bag of rocks. I swear, you have to keep the dogs away from them. and the bourbon is not much better for the price. they are nice, I enjoy them. But I am glad Ben was overruled and they did not become a symbol of The US. In before someone comments what you need is a waddling peguin or fat emu.

McAlister's has a pretty decent "traditional" club sandwich. Only go to subway when you've run out of options entirely. There is nothing to be found there that isn't done 100 times better at just about any place that claims to specialize in sandwiches.

Atrocious spelling aside, no, a proper club does not have ham. Turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. That's it.
