That sounds like something you'd get at The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas

Looked it up in the way back files ;)
It was The Vortex Bar and Grill in Atlanta.
I was doing personal food challenges back then and making a regional food the team playing against the Cleveland Browns was known for. My guess is they were playing the Falcons. I learned a lot of new foods. Some I still make.

One of my (if not my number one) favorite sandwich.

Home roasted turkey breast (bonus if there is skin on the slices or available), homemade stuffing (stuffing cubes, butter, salt, pepper, herbs, celery, onion, mushrooms, and nuts for a little crunch), lettuce, and mayo on white bread (I prefer Wonder bread). Cranberry sauce or homemade cranberry relish on the side.

Or a bad burger? 😂
Oh no, never discredit a patty melt!

On a side note, it's very entertaining to walk into a NE Ohio bar on a day where the Browns are playing Pittsburgh and saying, "Go Steelers!" and then quickly leaving before things get hurled at me or I get tackled.

And now you've got me thinking, which I try to avoid after 6pm.
The first "sandwich" was two slices of bread with slices of meat in the middle, easy to consume when gambling all night long.
For me, there's a huge difference between an American sandwich and a British sandwich.
If I may generalise:
American "sandwiches" range from slices of bread to halved baguettes to burger buns, with as much meat/fish/whatever stuffed inside.
British "sandwiches" tend to be dainty; white bread, or brown bread, always buttered, with a few ingredients inside: cheese & pickle, roast beef & mustard, cucumber, smoked salmon & cucumber/dill/parsley, egg & cress, etc., that sort of thing. Even half a baguette will have just a few bits & pieces in the middle.
American "sandwiches" are packed with meat, or cheese, or maybe salami, pastrami, ham, turkey, chicken, and they've extended the definition of a sandwich to include hamburgers, tuna, fried chicken melts, etc. in a bun/bap.
No doubt at all, however, that the 4th Earl of Sandwich came up with a great idea; there were around 4 billion ready-made sandwiches consumed in the UK last year.
