The clubs up thread sound a lot like the turkey bacon sandwiches here. Just a blt add turkey. Very excellent sandwich. I haven’t seen clubs much lately but perhaps I don’t go to the right places. That third slice of bread is pointless calories. When I’ve gotten it, I’ve yanked it out. I guess the parameters of a turkey bacon are broader because no one gets hung up on bread type, triangles, or toothpicks…

To each his own, but that sounds like claiming the best hamburger is a gyro.
I’m confused, is this a regional thing? Where I’m from roast beef club is one of the standard clubs. Are you saying it doesn’t count as a club sandwich?
I’m talking about this kind of thing in case I wasn’t clear.

What you call a Turkey Bacon Sandwich would be a called a Club in Toronto.
This is the description of a Club at a pub I frequent.
If someone wants a triple-decker cut into 4, that will be mentioned on the menu in Toronto.
If the triple-decker part isn’t mentioned on the menu, a Club in Toronto could be on a Kaiser, on focaccia, on ciabatta, you name it.

Maybe it is a regional thing. This looks like the child of a Reuben and a Club to me.
Maybe it is regional - I have always understood the defining feature of a club sandwich to be the triple-decker structure and the inclusion of bacon. While a turkey club is probably the most common variety, roast beef club is definitely a standard option where I grew up (Michigan), as is chicken salad club, etc. And I agree with you that the roast beef club is far superior to turkey (and that cheese should not be involved).

Might be regional, but here in the Boston area, you can definitely get a variety of fillings (turkey, roast beef, ham, tuna or chicken salad, etc.) that:
- are in a trip decker sandwich (3 slices of bread)
- have bacon
- have tomato
- have lettuce
- have mayo
- do not include cheese (standard)
They are all called a club sandwich on menus here.

Are tacos, gyros and hot dogs samiches? I kid. I need to learn to split a hair four or five ways.

I haven’t ever seen a roast beef club, ham club or a tuna club on a menu in Toronto, or elsewhere in Canada. (They sound great!)
Even a chicken salad club is very unusual. I only knew about chicken salad clubs because a friend who had a place in Florida are them, and called them a Hollywood Club.
One of my favourite clubs, at a place that no longer exists, was a lobster club that used to be served at a restaurant in Montreal in the late 1990s.

Boston is pretty big on its roast beef sandwiches in general, so that might be a regionality thing.

Holy cannoli! Do those frilly picks go all the way through to the bottom of the sandwich? Now to me, that looks like one great rb sammie.

None of this “I kid” havering, Badger. You’ve started a war, so let’s get to it.
NO they are NOT sammies, sarnies, sammidges or sandwiches. The sine qua non of a sandwich is TWO pieces of bread

… and what about the figurative (and always tasty) $#!t sandwich?
I’ll take a nothing burger over a shit sandwich any day.
A triple decker sandwich has FOUR pieces of bread. The decks are the fillings, not the bread slices. Traditional club sandwiches are DOUBLE DECKER, with three pieces of bread.
