The king of all sandwiches!

Last night after Vanessa’s play we went to dinner at Katella Deli in Los Alamitos. It used to go here occasionally when I worked at Marriott and the food is always fantastic. This is where I was first introduced 2 years ago to the Monte Cristo sandwich. For those of you who have never tried a Monte Cristo sandwich, you are not true Americans. “Monte Cristo” should be a synonym for gluttony.

A Monte Cristo starts innocently enough as a ham and turkey sandwich with Swiss cheese. The sandwich is then cut into quarters (usually triangles), dipped in batter, deep-fried, and coated with powered sugar. It is especially good when consumed with strawberry jelly. It tastes amazing and trying to find a restaurant that serves one is difficult. Many people have tried the Monte Cristo at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland. I have not, but I may need to make a trip to Disneyland just to compare.
