slo’s TUESDAY 1/28 poll - Monte Cristo Sandwich

[NC Belle]

It is not my desire to eat it plus I'm newly diagnosed from pre-diabetic to Type 2 (more tests in February...fun times). I lean towards steak subs and missing my monthly Pub Sub splurge.

Not a fan. Too sweet for a sandwich,

It does not appeal to me. I don't like the sweet and savory together. I don't like sweet and sour chicken, the McDonalds McGriddle, so I equate it with those things.

Same! I do not like sweet/savory mix. I remember it was really big about 10 years ago (still popular but not as much) to have fruit in a regular salad. Ex: mandarin oranges, strawberries, craisins, etc. No, just no! Make a fruit salad instead. Don’t ruin my perfectly good lettuce and spinach.

I ate one once at a Cheddar's in Lansing. I didn't care for it.

I know that Cheddars! Passed it last week. (Had to go home for a funeral.)

I was trying to remember where I had my first Monte Cristo. Finally figured it was probably at a Chicago area chain called Jojo's, long since closed.

One of my absolute favorite restaurants-I have their menu and I'd love to see them make a comeback-they were terrific.
