Review:
We eat at this little corner diner all the time at work because it is pretty much the only thing that is reasonably close to the office. I have seen the Victory Club on the menu before, but usually get the Bacon Cheeseburger, which is excellent, but have never had the Club. But since I had just started this blog, I figured it was my duty to get the club and give it a review. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was not overwelmingly big, and easy to handle, especially since it was cut in half and not quarters like most other clubs. Don't get me wrong, it was still a big sandwich, but it wasn't so big that it fell apart when I picked it up. The meats were deli cuts, and there was predominately more ham on the sandwich than turkey so it made it a little more salty than I prefer. The bacon was good, not to crispy, not to flimsy/chewy, just right. I enjoyed the 2 different cheeses on the sandwich, once again, no fancy cheese slices, probably from the deli or pre-packaged. The bread was also probably regular sliced white bread, but it went well with the other ingredients. Victory Cafe is not the Cheescake Factory or some big fancy restauarant, its a corner country diner, you know the types of ingredients you are going to get when you walk in. I got a side of fries and a Diet Coke to wash it all down. The fries at Victory are a thick fresh-cut fry, a little greasy but still very good. I couldn't even finish the entire basket and I actually left quite a bit there, which is supprising for me.

What I Would Change: More mayo. Like I said before, I don't think there was any on it and I didn't get a little cup of it brought out with the sandwich. Mayo, or more of it would have really put this one over the top.

Intro & Description

I love a good Club Sandwich and since that is usually how I judge a restaurant that I have never been too, by the Club Sandwich on the menu. I love all types of food, but I have found that you never know what you are going to get when searching the menu at a new restaurant. For example, a burger. With burgers I like them with the meat and cheese only so I am not a good judge of ones that are loaded with veggies. So, I have decided to create a blog reviewing Club Sandwich's whenever I get the chance to enjoy one. I will also provide pics, other reviews of the menu, sides, environment, and what ever else is on my mind.

There are however a few rules:

1. The first rule of Clubin' is we do not talk about Clubin'. Sorry I had to do that!
2. Ignore the 1st rule and tell people about it. Or don't, doesn't really matter to me. I am going to write it if I have 1 or 1,000,000 followers.
3. NO TOMATO'S. Sorry I don't like them and never get them.
Actually I thought I would have more rules than that but I can't think of any more.

That is all for now,
Later!
