Why Does Rocky Specify Turkey Sandwiches in the Night Receptionist?

at 4:33

From the episode: S1E11 - 'The Night Receptionist'

Answer

When the receptionist wheels in Chilean Chardonnay and two rounds of turkey sandwiches, Alice Levine asks why the meat is so specific. Why turkey rather than chicken? Jamie Morton says his dad, Rocky Flintstone, loves turkey. The book calls turkey sandwiches one of Belinda Blumenthal's many favorite late-night snacks. The hosts say turkey is an odd middle-of-the-night order unless it is the day after Christmas, so they read the detail as Rocky giving Belinda his own tastes. The receptionist also apologizes because the ice machine delayed the bottle.
