The Eternal Peoplehood of the Meated Bread


This hallowed group, better known as "Sandwich Club" at work has been a huge boon to our effort to save money.

"What is Sandwich Club, Jason, and how can I join?  And isn't it a club sandwich?"

All very good questions.  Number three is a common mistake, made up reader who is actually me.  While club sandwiches my in fact be constructed by members of Sandwich Club, the group neither takes its name from the dish nor favors it over any other form of sandwich.  We are truly egalitarian in our sandwich construction.  If it can be spread, spackled and nestled between two pieces of bread, it probably has been.

Sandwich Club is a foursome of Renegade coworkers (which until yesterday included Kate...bastards!) who trade off in a four week cycle, bringing in sandwich elements for every member of the group.  On your week you bring in at least four pounds of good deli counter meats, mayo and mustard (if needed), three loaves of bread, lettuce, cheese, and some kind of snack food, like chips or crackers.  To keep it fair we say each person needs to spend about $50 on their assigned week.  And that's all you spend for the month on lunch, since you eat for free the other three weeks.  You get good deli style sandwiches made however you like them for only $2.27 a work day.  Not too shabby.

To answer your third question, with Kate's unfortunate departure we do have an opening, but we may already have a candidate to fill the position.  However, if you think you're qualified (work at Renegade) and have a passion for all things sandwich, let me know.  We may be able to find a place for you.

If you're interested in starting your own Sandwich Club, we have affordable franchise options to fit most every budget.


To long loaf, keen cheese, and moments of happiness, thinly-sliced,

The Eternal Peoplehood of the Meated Bread
Note: We don't actually call ourselves that, but I wish we did...
