COLD CUT CLUB ROLL

Steps:

• Use moistened spatula to mix rice and vinegar until blended. Cool slightly.
• Spoon cream cheese spread into pastry bag fitted with plain tip. Place 1 nori sheet, shiny side down, on plastic wrap-covered bamboo sushi mat. Use moistened fingers to pat half the rice mixture evenly onto nori. Top with half each of all remaining ingredients, trimming as necessary to fit nori sheet.
• Pipe cream cheese spread into horizontal line across center of topped nori sheet. Starting at one short end, use mat to tightly roll up nori sheet while firmly pressing mat into nori sheet as it is rolled. Use mat to turn and squeeze roll-up into round sushi roll.
• Repeat with second nori sheet and remaining ingredients to make second sushi roll. Use sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 pieces.

CLASSIC CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

CHICKEN CLUB RANCH ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (It's OK if they overlap a little.) Bake until browned but still pliable, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
• Set up a breading station with the flour in 1 medium bowl, the beaten egg in another medium bowl and the panko in a third. Generously season the chicken tenders with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dredge the tenders in the flour a few pieces at a time. Tap off the excess flour before dipping the tenders into the egg. Allow the excess egg to drip off, then coat the tenders in the panko. Set the breaded chicken on a plate. Repeat until all the tenders have been coated.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken in a single layer. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and browned on the other side, 3 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
• Lay out a flatbread with the shorter side facing you. (If your flatbread seems dry, moisten it slightly with a damp paper towel.) Spread half the ranch dressing on the bottom third. Line the wrap with half the bacon strips, then add half the chicken crosswise. Top the chicken with 2 pieces of lettuce, also crosswise. Starting from the bottom, roll everything up into as tight a spiral as possible without ripping the wrap, leaving the seam on the bottom. Place toothpicks into the roll at 1-inch intervals all the way through to the bottom to secure everything in place. Cut, in between the toothpicks, into even slices. Repeat with the remaining flatbread.

CHICKEN-SALAD CLUB ROLL

Steps:

• In a large straight-sided skillet, cover chicken with water by 1 inch; season generously with salt. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool, then coarsely chop. Combine with scallions, celery, tarragon, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Arrange bacon in a single layer in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Top each bun with avocado and lettuce; fill with chicken mixture. Top with bacon and tomatoes and serve with potato chips.

CAPTAIN COLD CUT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Stir together vinegar, oregano, and oil in a small bowl. Split rolls in half horizontally, and spoon a little vinegar mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Layer peppers, prosciutto, salami, cheese, tomato slices, and lettuce on top. Replace tops of rolls, pressing down firmly. Cut sandwiches into smaller pieces, if desired, and serve.
