“Dear PoPville,
I’m at a loss trying to find a great classic club or turkey club sandwich in DC. Nothing fancy, nothing with avocado. A classic club, toasty bread (3 layers), LT and mayo with fresh crispy bacon. I’m here for all the frilly toothpicks. Who’s got the best? HELP – Anonymous Club Lover”
