Sandwiches are the easiest snack. fast, comforting, and satisfying. Ever since I was old enough to order Champagne, the combination of a club sandwich and a great, slightly old, yeasty Champagne has been the perfect palliative for many trying moments. If I had just arrived in a hotel, too tired or late to go out for dinner, it’s the right thing. If I’ve been out to dinner in a strange city, and the food was bad, all I had to do was return to the hotel and call room service.
I'm enjoying your articles, Jeremiah. This one reminds me of business trips to London where I would order chicken biryani and a split of champagne from room service late at night while I was still working. Always stayed at the same hotel and it was a nice routine away from home. BTW, I worked for you many years ago: 1984/1985 at the Santa Fe Bar & Grill. In the pastry dept, got the connection to you via your brother as we both went to the Monterey Institute of International Studies. I don’t think we ever met, though. I was only there for 6 or so months. Cheers!
Your Grandma knew what she was doing!
Thank you, David!
Hi Jake. You learned well at Stars!
Thank you, and remember lashings of mayo!
Thank you, Gayle!
Especially in a special place!
Thank you, Kate, and remember, lashings of mayonnaise!
I was at the Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan just a couple of days ago, eating a chicken club and drinking Moet.
Nothing better than a club sandwich! I don't see them so often anymore but whenever my Grandma would take me to lunch that's what I would order.
Oh yes! Going to try this! Wonderful! What’s your favorite brand of store bought mayonnaise?
Wow!
