This looks and sounds like a perfectly good sandwich. I did not give the fifth star, however, because I object to restaurants billing a sandwich as a "Club Sandwich", when club sandwich has long been used for a three-decker sandwich of chicken or turkey (or ham or roast beef), served on three pieces of toasted sliced bread and assembled as a BLT on one layer and meat + lettuce on the other. I made hundreds of them as a kid working at a country club for the snobby, obnoxious members.<<>>
