A Turkey Club By Any Other Name

 


From time to time, my thoughts wander back to the days spent in my hometown of Bremen, reminiscing about the incredible sub sandwiches I used to savor. In the era predating the arrival of Subway or Jersey Mikes in West Georgia, there existed a charming burger joint just beyond Thrifttown and on this side of old man Kelsey's creek. This hidden gem earned a reputation for serving the finest burgers, chili dogs, and shakes in town.

Yet, during the eighties, they dismantled that beloved spot and replaced it with a Hardee's. To everyone's surprise, this Hardee's became the unexpected purveyor of the most exceptional turkey club sub-sandwich. Featuring turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo nestled within a multigrain sub-roll, it was a "tasty" delight that outshone any other fast-food sandwich, a distinction that remains valid even today.

I ate this sandwich many times while they served it, now sadly, the mystery is their decision to remove this delectable creation from their menu. The question of why such a scrumptious and beloved sandwich was taken away remains unanswered, leaving those who cherished its flavors to ponder the curious choice made by Hardee's.
