💡 What's interesting

The Turkey Club is culturally iconic for its triple-decker structure, which was originally designed to keep ingredients separated and maintain crispness. Nutritionally, it's interesting because while it offers a good protein boost, the combination of processed meats and refined bread makes it a more indulgent choice compared to simpler sandwiches.
