Not to beat a dead horse, I saw on a show that club sandwiches
were invented in Syracuse, NY, at the Saratoga Club House.

An early recipe included, "[t]wo toasted pieces of Graham bread, with a
layer of turkey or chicken and ham between them, served warm."[5]
Another theory is that the club sandwich was invented in an exclusive
Saratoga Springs, New York gambling club in the late 19th century.[1][6]
The sandwich is known to have appeared on U.S. restaurant menus as far
back as 1899.[7] The earliest reference to the sandwich in print is from
Conversations of a Chorus Girl, a 1903 book by Ray L. Cardell.[3]

I really don't know how I've made it this far without knowing
this factoid.
