Tell the Count he makes a damn fine sandwich.

We went to Bennigan's last night with Marv because he was leaving for Cabo today, and because we had a gift card. Rhonda ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich, and for the uninitiated, it was one of the most bizarre American food items I've ever seen or tasted.

It's a ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese sandwich. Battered and deep-fried. With the raspberry sauce on the side, it was like a jelly donut. A meat-and-cheese-filled jelly donut. I joked Krispy Kreme should make these and call it the "Kristo".

Of course, I'm eating the leftovers right now. It's delicious, but I could think of few things less healthy for you than a deep-fried, meat-and-cheese sandwich with powdered sugar and sugary raspberry sauce on top.
