The 1930's were a creative and imaginative time to be alive. Along with the modern world trying to figure itself out so was the art of sandwich making!
If a sandwich recipe has lasted close to century you know it has to be good! Sweet and savoury to the max, salty ham and turkey, gooey cheese and well....nestled in between 2 slices of french toast!? Woah I know it sounds weird but 100 years of Monte Cristo can't be wrong!
