Peachtree Melt from Roly Poly - $5.95

"Black forest ham, melted Swiss and imported brie cheeses, peaches, pepper relish, and grilled golden brown. Served with a side of fresh dill horseradish."

Good, particularly if you enjoy sweeter foods, but slightly disappointed that the peach chunks weren't bigger. Also, very messy.

Cemitas Atomica from Cemitas Pueblas - $9.00

3619 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL - (773) 772-8435


"Sesame seed bread layered with avocado, choice of meat, adobo chipotle peppers, fresh Oaxacan cheese and papalo (seasonal)."

For the meat, we chose the Atomica version which includes Milanesa (breaded beef fillet), Carne Enchilada (thin sheet of pork coated with chili pepper), and Jamon (a Spanish ham).

The sandwich was good, but in my opinion, over-hyped and over-priced, just because it was featured on the show Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Still, this Pueblan sandwich is supposedly unique to this single restaurant in the entire Chicagoland area so it could be worth checking out.

Monte Cristo from Bennigan's - $8.49

Here's my latest addiction. It's a combination of sliced turkey, ham, swiss, and Cheez Wiz on white bread. Then it's lightly battered, deep fried, and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. It comes with a side of raspberry sauce/jam for dipping, but they're EXTREMELY stingy with it, which is a shame because it tastes awesome. The fries are pretty inconsistent, but go well with the Monte Cristo, nonetheless.
