I'm talking about a great, old-fashioned club sandwich. When was the last time you found an edible variety on any menu? For me, the absolute best club sandwich I have ever eaten was at the 'Miss Cornwall' restaurant in Cornwall, Ontario.
It was spectacular! Ordinary white bread stuffed with real chicken, real cheddar, ordinary bacon, lettuce and tomato -- all smeared with plain mayonnaise. So delicious I still remember it with my mouth watering 20-odd years on!
If you order one anywhere today you'll get ciabatta bread, fake chicken and aioli mayo. Ridiculous. I also can't stand cilantro and arugula -- all favourites with today's chefs. They put that sh-t on everything! Why?!
"You can't speak to a chef," I said to one waitress a while ago, while asking for plain Hellman's. Because you can't. They know everything and to h-ll with the customer. They just can't be spoken to.
I googled the 'Miss Cornwall' and found it closed. It was huge and tacky and perfect!
