Hot Rod Fried Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Alice's version of the croque monsieur. Bread, ham, gruyere, dipped in egg and fried in vegetable oil and butter. I am beginning to worry a little about our cholesterol. It's not just the butter and heavy cream, but now it seems like everything also has eggs. Believe it or not, these were not as good as the ones we ate at Cafe Richelieu in the Louvre, though substantially cheaper.


Episode Note: "Wheeler-Dealer"  Caveat Emptor is the phrase of the day - "buyer beware" for those who aren't up on their high school Latin, as Greg is sweet talked into buying a jalopy from an unscrupulous friend named Eddie. Greg is convinced that with just a little elbow grease and some paint he will have the car of his dreams. Unfortunately, nothing can help the broken down piece of junk. A lecture from Mike ensues about honesty and integrity, but Greg is determined to find another sucker to buy the car from him. Just when he is about to close the deal, Greg's conscience begins to weigh on him (probably after eating one of these sandwiches). He decides to be a stand up guy, and lets the unsuspecting dupe off the hook. I'm wearing my WWGBD bracelet, are you?

  3. This sandwich is also known as a Monte Cristo (a favorite at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland) and was delicious.
