Why the club sandwich is the greatest sandwich of all time

The club sandwich is the greatest sandwich of all time. It beats even the deli Reuben, the katsu sando, the banh mi and the bifana. A friend to travellers, weary and alone, the club is a timeless creation that works just as well at midnight as it does at midday.

Probably the only binding motion is the fact a club must always be served with French fries and an assortment of condiments in shiny metal pots.
