Monte Cristo
I've hardly ever met a sandwich I didn't like. But have you ever had a Monte Cristo?
Last night Richard, Loaf and I went to the Melrose Diner for dinner. I couldn't make up my mind from the large sandwich selection, so feeling pressure to order I chose the Monte Cristo. I had never had one before, but the menu description read that it had ham, turkey and cheese - what's not to like about that?
Apparently I didn't read the description hard enough because That shit has french toast for bread. Huh? Tasting ham, cheese, turkey and sweet custard-like bread all in the same mouthful is kinda a gross turnoff. It came with a side of maple syrup, for chrissakes.
If I wanted a McGriddle sandwich (also gross), I would have gone to McDonald's and saved myself a few bucks. *
Moral of the story: avoid the Monte Cristo.
* However, that did not stop me from eating half of it last night, then the other half for lunch today.

Oh, the Monte Cristo sandwich is a standard sandwich served almost everywhre I've been. It's usually served for brunch/luncheon type of events.
Oh, and it's full of calories and fat. And not very good for you or your digestiver tract.
I for one love a Monte Cristo. The Monte Carlos at Nookies are also quite delish.
Now you've made me hungry.
I've never had one, but it sounds yummy! Now I'm hungry too!
I had my first Monte Cristo on a date about 15 years ago. Both ended badly.
PS - how disturbing is it that my verification word is "raipeu". Sound that out . . .
LOL ... love the asterik comment. You hated it but you ate it anyway! Love it!
I'm with k.i.d., eating one of those bad boys is are artery-clogging bliss.
OMG - a mcgriddle the day after guiness and car bombs was the Per-fect way to cure a post St. Paddy's Day hangover!
I'm down with the Monte Cristo... it is so over the top that you have to embrace it.
i can't decide if that picture grosses me out more or less than the chocolate mannequin
YUM! I never had one but never noticed it was on french toast- eeww- but I probably would have eaten it all eventually- those fries look great! love hot crispy fries...
