Joshua Weissman and the ultimate club sandwich

Once in a blue moon, I'm in a rare mood where all I want is a nice club sandwich with a side of decent potato chips. Nothing fancy. It's just an urge that needs to be satisfied. All the ingredients for a decent club sandwich (assuming you're okay with using deli chicken instead of turkey) are located in my building's basement grocery store, too... incuding a secret weapon to amp the sandwich up: smoked duck instead of bacon. Once I discovered the magic of smoked duck a few years back, I knew there'd be no going back. I've used it as a bacon substitute in American breakfasts, BLTs, and even boeuf bourguignon. There simply is no going back. Duck is naturally fatty, like bacon, and when it's smoked, it becomes even more bacon-y. It's also relatively cheap here in Korea, which is surprising for any peninsular protein. What's more, on my long walks, I've passed by the facilities were ducks are kept and, uh, harvested, and the birds all look hale and healthy to me, so I say: What the DUCK are you waiting for, fool? I'm suddenly in the mood for a club sandwich.
