Looking back at such a magnificent sandwich. Where does it rank all time for you in terms of sandwiches?
Honorable mention:
Black Forest sandwich at Fox and Hound.

I miss the Kilkenny salad. Last time I had one in Lafayette the middle of the chicken was pink and almost frozen. The doors closed the next week.

Correct. Their grilled chicken was awesome too. It pissed me off that they would not let you call in to go orders though.

Bennigan's Broccoli Bites
3 eggs
6oz. shredded monterey jack cheese
6 oz. shredded colby cheese
1- 16 oz. box frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained and dried
2 1/2 ozs. bacon pieces
1/2 oz. diced yellow onion
1 oz. all purpose flour
Italian bread crumbs as needed
Drain thawed broccoli thoroughly by pressing through a strainer. Beat eggs
in a mixing bowl with a whisk until well blended. Place all the ingredients into a plastic container, except the bread crumbs. Stir together with a
spatula until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour. This will help to bind the mix making preparation much easier. Heat about 4 cups oil in a fryer or deep pan for frying at 350F.
Set up a shallow pan with bread crumbs. Scoop about 1/2 oz. portion of the broccoli mixture into the
bread crumbs. Form each portion into a ball and coat it well. Place broccoli bites into the fry basket or frying pan. Make sure they do not stick
together. Fry for one minute, then remove and place onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve with : HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup dijon mustard
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. lemon juice
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise and mustard. Blend thoroughly using a whisk. Slowly pour in the honey and lemon juice, continue mixing until smooth and well combined.

I call bs on this. There is no way that sandwich had 9 pieces of bread.
There's a restaurant in Denham called The Local. They make a great Monte Christo. They also have one of the best burgers anywhere.

If you read the instructions, it makes a triple decker, which is 3. 9 is clearly a typo. I corrected it. Sorry to ruin your day.
