Monte cristo sandwich

Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any restaurant that makes a good monte cristo sandwich in the Detroit area? I'm surprised this sandwich isn't as popular as it should be here. I know it's more of an east coast dish, but who doesn't love deep fried french toast? ;)

I haven't looked too hard, but when I'm out I see if it's a menu and around here I'm having a hard time finding it. Thanks guys!

Thanks scooter! I did that immediately after. Yelp provided some places but when I looked at their menus, there wasn't a monte cristo listed. The only one was the resto at the Townsend that served one for 17 bucks!

I was at Vivio's, a place that would serve it, over the weekend and our waitress didn't even know what it was. Though she was eager to give the recommendation onto the chef.

Honest? John's does indeed have a Monte Cristo on their menu. I've had it numerous times as it's one of my favorites there.

It's listed under both Breakfast & Sandwiches

Ashley's in Westland has it on their menu. Also, poutine. The sandwich was pretty decent, the poutine was just OK. I haven't been to a Bennigan's in years but they also served said sandwich.

That's good if you're willing to go to Howell or Saginaw for that sandwich, as those are the only Benningan's locations within 100 miles of Detroit according to their website.
