I'll just post the entire clip so we can all move forward:
I order the club sandwich all the time and I'm not even a member, man.
I don't know how I get away with it!
I like my sandwiches with 3 pieces of bread, so do I.
Well, let's form a club then.
OK, but we need some more stipulations.
Yes, we do.
Instead of cutting the sandwich once, let's cut it again.
Yes, four triangles. We will position them into a circle
nd in the middle, we will dump chips, or potato salad.
OK, let me ask you a question.
How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
I'm for 'em!
Well, this club is formed, spread the word on menus nationwide.
I'll have my sandwich with alfalfa sprouts.
Well you're not in the fucking club!
RIP in peace, Mitch
"All right I'm just going to do the rest of the set sitting down, y'all seem to like that."
They could have never done another Comedy Central Presents after Mitch and still not missed their peak.
I don’t remember that one. Do you mean the pastrami, cottage cheese, banana bread joke? He also laughed that one off because he knew it was dumb. “There’s too much fucking meat on the sandwich.”
No he mentioned eoast beef and that was it. I think he started saying "i like roast beef' and then just stopped. It always stood out as one of his unfunny moments, few as they were
Frillity Frillity Froo!
One of the saddest things in a kitchen drawer is various colors of frill remnants from frilly toothpicks that never made it out.
The purpose of the frill or flag or colored plastic sword is so that the customer sees it… you have to hold people by the hand or they might eat a toothpick.
Seriously maybe.
Some guy got pissed at my job when he bit down on one of those paddle shaped toothpicks. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Literally ate half the sandwich in one bite, then tried to say someone from the kitchen hid it in his sandwich.
I love a baked potato, man. I don't have a microwave oven. It takes forever in a regular oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there even if I don't want one. By the time it's done, who knows?
By frilly, do we mean those picks that have the plastic confetti thing at the one end?
If so, i loved those damn things and they always made a sammich feel special.
Also, with the proper straw, extremely efficient blow gun ammo for settling disputes on the line. If the beef is serious the frills can also be set on fire but this severely cuts down on the ability to 'hold a shot in the chamber' so to speak.
they would make the top piece of bread soggy. My fav place gives you a spear pickle (half done jewish deli style) and a half of a pickled green tomato on the side
I hate frilly toothpicks. The amount of times I've had a server catch a piece of plastic that blew on top of the sandwich is too much. Gimme the swords or the looped bamboo
The club sandwich was invented at the Saratoga club. The general idea is a turkey sandwich on the bottom and a blt on top. I do like the frilly picks, they help the customers see where they are supposed to grab and pull before their delicious 4 bites. A club is about construction. Do it well.
They must have a frilly toothpick, and three pieces of toast, at leasttwo types of mear and be cut in four triangles. Bacon, turkey are tradional. Maybe chips.
I can see the utilities of the frill. Old/drunk people might otherwise not see the toothpick and fuck themselves up on it.
In practice, though, the frilly toothpicks we've been getting have dropped in quality recently. Instead of one in 25 toothpicks losing their frill, it has started to happen like twice as often.
The REAL 1st work problem is when you either match all four frilly toothpicks or use 4 different colors, but THEN, when nearing the end of the box and you only have 3 colors, you’re screwed. You can go with 2 of 2 colors for awhile until you can’t. It is inexcusable to serve 2 matching and 2 not matching frilly toothpicks. Inexcusable! At that point it is “86 Club Sandwich”
Love the frilly toothpicks just for the fact that they can be used as blow dart when put in any normal sized straw, but as far as sending out food paddles or bamboo loops.

this bit is why it can only be properly called a club sandwich when it has a frilly toothpick.
Which are (not surprisingly) known as: club frill picks.
I used to quote Mitch. I still do, but I used to, too.
This is the only acceptable argument.
I feel out of the loop on this……..and now I fee dumb since I’m OP on this thread..
Mitch Hedburg did a skit on the club sandwich. It's one of his best. Gotta hear it, man. https://youtu.be/LWwIRGRXzHE?si=yp19TZ58wI9sI4e1
Thank you for not broiling me 🙏🏼
Watch all his stuff, he has great hit/miss ratio
I love a good miss, though. Especially when it should work but just doesn’t.
But his misses never missed because his delivery always carried it. He would just laugh it off when he knew it was stupid.
"All right I'm just going to do the rest of the set sitting down, y'all seem to like that." They could have never done another Comedy Central Presents after Mitch and still not missed their peak.
I remember him trying to basically improvise a joke about roast beef and it falling flat, so he moved on, it was memorably meh

I’m gonna have to YouTube that one.
I had no idea why I thought this was some Family Guy gag
Frillity Frillity Froo! One of the saddest things in a kitchen drawer is various colors of frill remnants from frilly toothpicks that never made it out.
Exactly what I came here for. Move on everyone.
The purpose of the frill or flag or colored plastic sword is so that the customer sees it… you have to hold people by the hand or they might eat a toothpick.
I’ve used them before to signify doneness of a burger or such using a color code lol
So does the server have to stand there to watch over their safety, or can they run the other table’s food now?
Seriously maybe. Some guy got pissed at my job when he bit down on one of those paddle shaped toothpicks. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Literally ate half the sandwich in one bite, then tried to say someone from the kitchen hid it in his sandwich.
I love those paddle toothpicks because they’re extremely hard to miss. That’s hilariously stupid.
It was one of my favorite stories especially since he was such a dick about it to the staff that the manager ended up refusing to comp it.
You might say he found himself up a creek…
Well he had a paddle so idk what he was bitching so much about
I've been that idiot twice. Same fucken sandwich. I knew I was the idiot though.
But I like gnawing on cheap splintery wood :(
Club members deserve no less than little plastic swords.
En guard
Mitch, you want a frozen banana? No…but I might want a regular banana later, so, yeah.
If carrots got you drunk rabbits would be f&cked up.
I love a baked potato, man. I don't have a microwave oven. It takes forever in a regular oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there even if I don't want one. By the time it's done, who knows?
Lmfao what is this from???
From his special Strategic Grill Locations
Last great comedy album to feature the bass solo.
Heard🫡
Enjoy, if you haven’t heard that one yet.
By frilly, do we mean those picks that have the plastic confetti thing at the one end? If so, i loved those damn things and they always made a sammich feel special.
Yes, *those* toothpicks
Also, with the proper straw, extremely efficient blow gun ammo for settling disputes on the line. If the beef is serious the frills can also be set on fire but this severely cuts down on the ability to 'hold a shot in the chamber' so to speak.
No they deserve the toothpicks which are stabbed into an olive
Two of them, so they look like eyeballs and you can pretend your sandwich is a sandwich monster.
Stuffed olives are great for this. Lots of different eyes to choose from.
I like this.
they would make the top piece of bread soggy. My fav place gives you a spear pickle (half done jewish deli style) and a half of a pickled green tomato on the side
Gross, olives suck
I totally agree. It’s strictly for aesthetics.
The olive?
I’m for it!
Assorted colors or do you have a color in mind?
Green just feels right to me
I would go with frills for any sandwich that has a toothpick. It makes the toothpick more visible, which I know sounds stupid, but…you’ve met guests.
What color though? Red for DANGER?
Whatever color your pull out. Match them if you want. Our packs always came with red, yellow, blue, and green.
I used to love club sandwiches. I still do, but I used to, too.
Yeah otherwise it's just a loose association of bread and meats
What about a Ham and Cheese, does it need a frilly toothpick?
No. Not enough ingredients
Escalators can never break. They just become stairs
Sorry for the convenience.
More than anything, yes
More than that extra slice of bread?
They go hand in hand
How do you feel about frilly toothpicks? I’M FOR ‘EM
Good you’re in the club
It's an ingredient.
Is it though?
Yes, it brings the whole dish together.
Frills = Completion, got it 👌🏼
I don't see how it could even be a club sandwich without the frilly toothpicks
Does an open faced Club Sandwich still get a middle slice?
IMO an open faced sandwich is not a club sandwich
Exactly. A club sandwich is defined, first and foremost, by the form.
It’s in the recipe
I hate frilly toothpicks. The amount of times I've had a server catch a piece of plastic that blew on top of the sandwich is too much. Gimme the swords or the looped bamboo
Bamboo loops are great
I mean they help the sandwich from falling apart like my parents marriage did.
Dude I gave my parents a whole variety box of frilly toothpicks and it didn't help anything.
I’ll eat the hell out of a club sandwich. And as a chef who’s made hundreds of them, fuck every person who’s ever ordered one
This is me and French onion soup. Sorry dish hog, I know you suffer for my gastronomical delights.
As much as they deserve turkey and bacon
What color frill?
Something’s got to hold that monstrosity together
The club sandwich was invented at the Saratoga club. The general idea is a turkey sandwich on the bottom and a blt on top. I do like the frilly picks, they help the customers see where they are supposed to grab and pull before their delicious 4 bites. A club is about construction. Do it well.
Yes, a club sandwich is special and deserves special adornments. 👑
They must have a frilly toothpick, and three pieces of toast, at leasttwo types of mear and be cut in four triangles. Bacon, turkey are tradional. Maybe chips.
You’re not in the fucking club.
I can see the utilities of the frill. Old/drunk people might otherwise not see the toothpick and fuck themselves up on it.

I'm not making a banana bread and cottage cheese sandwich.

No. Fuck you. If I ever catch you not putting them in, I'll hate fuck your favorite dead pet.
I remember a post from a while ago where a guy said he felt special whenever he got a toothpick in his sandwich so I’ve always done it since then
100% they deserve it, don’t be an animal
#I'M FOR EM
Frilly toothpicks do not deserve the privilege of inhabiting the club sandwich
Spicy, I like this take. If frilly toothpicks don’t deserve the privilege of inhabiting the club sandwich, what do they deserve?
To clean the flecks of bacon and lettuce out of my molar cavities
But they can’t be delivered in the sandwich first?
Idk about you but I dont want trash inside my food, personally. You can live your own life tho bro
[удалено]
And always.
That’s how you know
Know what?
If it’s in the club. Sheesh
club sandwiches don't deserve shit.
Yes
I hate frilly toopicks on any sandwich. bamboo or nothing at all.
CLUB stands for Chicken Lettuce Under Bacon
Yes
Yes!!! And how dare you suggest otherwise?!?!
Not frilly toothpicks, cocktail umbrellas. Club sandwiches deserve to rest in the shade.
Maybe if they did paper instead. Fuck plastic man
Get your thrills at Club Frills!
Only green or red. Purple or gold would be pretentious
what else are you using frilly toothpicks for?
Please throw away all your frill toothpicks and never buy them again.
With olives skewered between the frill and the toast.
