Your Best Turkey Sandwiches

You submitted some killer Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches and plenty of other great-looking creations. You can find a few of the turkey sandwich submissions on Instagram, here. And some of the other non-turkey sandwiches are in a separate post. Check 'em out. 

Submissions came from club members across the U.S. and one of you shared an actual club sandwich from international waters while out to sea on a cruise. Thank you, to that member, for risking a listeria infection to upload to the database. Pretty exciting to get a submission from the middle of the ocean!

Still stuffed from overeating during Thanksgiving?

Tough, because this week we're getting Reubens…or any spin on it you want: Corned beef, pastrami, Rachel, veggie rube are all welcome! As always, feel free to submit any other sandwiches you end up ordering or making this week.

Again, here’s the submission form. And here are few tips on how to upload your sandwiches:

• It's much easier to upload photos from your mobile camera roll, so open the form link on your phone, not desktop, ya Boomer.

• Bookmark the form in your mobile web browser so you can upload sandwich after sandwich.

The Million Sandwich Database got its first 25 entries this week. Only 999,975 to go! 

• The most important thing we heard is “It’s tough to upload pictures to Google Forms from a computer.” To which, I'd say: "Dad, you just have to open the link on your phone." 

• After lots of kind comments and support, we got one piece of real feedback from a true friend who said, “You guys are stiffer than a 3-day-old Subway loaf.” In retrospect that maybe isn’t so stiff due to the level of preservatives in that bread, but point taken.

• Only one person unsubscribed altogether - my mother. She resubscribed since realizing this particular spam email comes from her son.

• We had a couple of great feature requests, including: a way to debate, leaderboards, a march madness type tournament, and a city-by-city ranking of best sandwiches.

We also have to give a shout-out to our leading uploader, Club Member: Nice Meats (that’s a sandwich name - you can have one too if you upload 4 sandwiches in a week 🖐️🎤). 

Speaking of debates -- The hot dog has unfortunately and unfairly been thrust into an existential crisis as the centerpiece of (arguably) the greatest unresolved debate of the 21st century. One Club Member, Joe No Mayo, sent us this deep-dive article and framework for identifying types of food with starches known simply as The Cube Rule. Worth a read. 

Obviously, this type of deep thinking and research is the work of a lunatic, but maybe there’s something to the idea that humans should be classified as Ravioli? At the very least, now we know how it feels to be thrown into a debate like this and can better empathize with the hot dog. More to come on sandwich definitions and personas in future weeks.

That’s it for now. 

Club:Sandwich is the world’s first ever members-only club for sandwich lovers (as far as you know). Together we discover, order, make, eat, and discuss sandwiches while building the largest, most comprehensive database of sandwiches ever. Grab or make a sandwich and then share it with us by adding it to the Million Sandwich Database. Uploading sandwiches will earn you points that have no value and cannot be used in any way.
