From Jess' link:
The year was 1914. Late one evening a leading lady of actor Charlie Chaplin came into the restaurant and said, 'Reuben, make me a sandwich, make it a combination, I'm so hungry I could eat a brick.' He took a loaf of rye bread, cut two slices on the bias and stacked one piece with sliced Virginia ham, roast turkey, and imported Swiss cheese, topped off with coleslaw and lots of Reuben's special Russian dressing and the second slice of bread.

I have to stop at safeway anyway, so I can get more if I am out.
You can get Fernet there, I'll bet. IJS.
I would say it's the whole shebang
Triple decked, with bacon--any further away from the ur-club than this, and it can no longer be considered a variant.
OH! AIMEE! Thanks to you, on Monday I will with any luck be buying my exact size in pants off eBay. Good times.
Anything for the advancement of good fashion.
we would have been born with the appropriate condiments in our hands.
That is not a sandwich I want to eat.
Just, no.
Unrelatedly, when I put leftover corned beef and boiled cabbage on light rye, I'm not accidentally making a Reuben, right?
Full bottle, Lee. Also, I've just offered to make dinner, so see what you think of my email. It's one of my three meals (four if you include microwave burritos).

I've seen more than one "club" that was not triple-decker, though I myself sneer at the idea that this can still be called a club.

What were its other characteristics?
Also, where were they served, so I can go by and purify the premises?
I had no idea a club sandwich was supposed to be triple-decker. I didn't even realize turkey was required. I thought the only key was bacon. I mean, I don't eat bacon, so I have no experience with any sort of clubs.

But that'd make the BLT a club. Proto-apocalyptic, that.
