Is that from Denny’s?
A place around here used to make something called a Horseshow sandwich that was smothered in cheese sauce. I think they are popular in Springfield, IL or Indiana.
They were good. But I love a nice Reuben every so often.
It is the best. Hard to find though. I get my Monte Cristo fix at the Omega in Des Plaines Illinois.
I love Monte Cristo sandwiches. Haven’t had a decent one since 1979!
There used to be a restaurant in NW Portland, Oregon, named Rose’s Delicatessen. Great food, including incredible donuts the size of small automobile tires.
The best sandwich at Rose’s IMHO, which I have never found anywhere else, was the LS Supreme. (I don’t know what ‘LS’ means, so don’t ask.) It was piled high with thin sliced turkey, thin sliced corned beef, thin sliced swiss cheese, with lettuce, tomatoe and Thousand Island dressing - all on the bread of your choice. My choice was always dark rye. This sandwich was - no joke! - 3-1/2 to 4 inches high and was sliced in thirds. I could only eat one-third, and would take the remainder home and to accompany it would be the world’s biggest schnecken (pecan roll) or 8-layer French chocolate cake or 6-layer chocolate walnut cake...you get the picture.
Rose’s was sold when Rose Naftalin, the owner, passed away. The new owners tried, but it didn’t make it. (Who could take the place of Rose, a woman who worked 20-hour days?)
So, my candidate for the greatest sandwich would be the LS Supreme, originally from Rose’s Delicatessen, Portland, Oregon.
You beat me to it. The Monte Cristo is by far the favorite of four of five in my family. A simple 1/2 pound blue cheese burger on a hard roll is a close second. ( my kids call them “Dadburgers”)
Where do you get one in So. Cal?
For culinary amazement...yes, it has to be the Monte Cristo.
