I had my very first Monte Chrsto sandwich at Mondana Inn. I lived in Santa Maria and after eating that wonderful sandwich my walk was changed for ever. I always listed to the North because my body/mouth wanted to have more such sandwiches. Yum You can find another good one in Yosimite National Park at the the famous Inn. So now you have another place to visit when you travel and if for no other reason you need to visit this National Park. I live in a Retirement Center now and travel very little. At dinner one night I foiund Monte Chrsto sandwich on the menue. You cfoud have it grilled or deep fried. Natureally I chose the deep fried because that is the way the Mondanna Inn prepaired it. The young waitress looked distressed when she told me that I could not have it deep fried. Of course I asked why. When she told me the reason I burst out laughing. I knew some staff member had told her to say,"It is not good for you." I apolgised and said I would take it grilled. It was awful, really awful. It was the first time I had ever had turkey in the sandwich. So I never had it again. We also have a Cafe in our center so when the sandwich came up on their menue I went to the buffet and had look see. It didn't look to bad so I tried it again. I would label it a ham/turkey grilled sandwich but it didn't taste grilled. More like it had been done in the oven or a dry grilled. About this time the Head Cook came into the Cafe and that resulted into a long discussion on the pros and cons of his Monte Christo Sandwich. None of the people involved in this discussion had ever had one with turkey turkey in it and that was the main point we made to the cook. As you can see I came to the computer for research and found we wrong. We will have to humble and say we are sorry. Thank you for your wonderful site and your love of the Monte Christo Sandwich. The pictures will enable me to help our cook improve his MCS. Sincerely Mary Lee Smi Dear Sweet Wonderful lady. I had my very first Monte Chrsto sandwich at Mondana Inn.

It looks like a fine idea to me. I was kind of hoping that you would tell us how to make it, but I don't know how you would begin. I have to admit, I have been weighing a road trip, or just desiring it from afar. That is insane. Blessings. I call this ambition…lofty. It looks like a fine idea to me.

I hear there's a waterfall/urinal. Not my kind of thing, but the men seem to think it's pretty cool. :) Your hubby might not like the sandwich, but he’d like the men’s room.
