      It WOULD have been worth the effort if he had made a proper Monte Cristo sandwich that is DEEP FRIED.
      But instead we get this lazy variation that isn’t much more than a normal deli sandwich with powdered sugar pretending it’s the sandwich people think of when they hear “Monte Cristo”…
      …especially when the entire bit is about the sandwich being “so greasy” that it could free someone from their restraints. Yet they do this embarrassing and lazy take on a monte Cristo instead of battering and deep frying it, and giving it that excess grease before letting it rest and then cutting it into those small crustless triangles with a toothpick in them.
      The worst part is Babish often does multiple versions of recipes for his main series videos… yet here not only does he only do one type, but it’s not even the proper greasy/popular one…

    One time, when all of my buddies went out to eat one of my friends ordered one of these sandwiches, after it got to the table he took a few bites but didn't say much, few minutes past and hes examining one of the pieces of sandwich to which he then say out loud to the table; "I think they put flour on this instead of sugar" all of us busted out laughing in confusion and all had to try it ourselves to confirm, we did get a new one made too!

    There used to be a restaurant around here called Solley's that had a different take on a Monte Cristo: Three slices of bread. Layers of ham, turkey, bacon, and Swiss cheese. Cut diagonally, battered, and deep fried. Served with sour cream and strawberry jam. They were absorbed by Jerry's Deli who kept making the sandwich for a while, but they eventually discontinued it. I miss that calorie bomb.

    Strangely, I had a Monte Cristo last night. Got it from a restaurant in Springfield, VA. They had the turkey/ham combo with Goat Cheese!!! I never thought to add Goat cheese (mostly because I don't like it), but on this sandwich, it was excellent. I ate it with Strawberry preserves instead of raspberry. That gave it a way better taste.

    I remember as a kid one of our favorite "day off from school" lunches was an egg dipped sandwich kind of like a monte cristo but no powdered sugar and filled with ham, american cheese, and pizza sauce. The cookbook we got it from claimed it was called a "roman sandwich." Still not fully sold on the sweet-savory thing monte cristos have going on, but french toast as the bread is legit.

    Please do Andy’s Mouth Surprise (skittle sandwich) from Parks and Recreation. It’d be great to see a Babish gourmet version of a starburst and a skittle.

    I would seriously watch a 2 hr video of Babish making his own bread, jam, butter and, mayo from scratch and, redoing the Monte Cristo.

    I'd only ever had a monte cristo at Cheddar's, to the point where I didn't think it existed anywhere else lol. I was wondering where the batter and deep fry was going to come in haha

    Pretty sure the run of the mill version found at Cheddar's or Bennigan's is your first iteration, but dipped in waffle batter and deep fried.

    Anybody else really wanna see Babish cover a recipe from a Henry Cavill movie just to have an excuse to see Babish and Cavill in the same room? I feel like Andrew's Stoic Chaos and Cavill's nerdy charm would be such an incredible on screen combination.

    You never fail to impress me with cooking techniques I've never heard of! I'm going to repeat what I think I've said before, which is I think it would be fun to watch you do potatoes and molasses from Over the Garden Wall :3

    Andrew: "I wanna make pâté en croûte. What can I use as a flimsy pretext for that?"
    Great cooking, but it sure took the Monte Cristo as a launching pad to go into space.

    The best preparation I've found is to batter and fry the cheese and meat, and serve with raspberry preserves

    I'm not generally opposed to the sweet and savory combination, but this particular one sounds unappetizing.

    Am I the only one surprised by the turkey? I've only ever had a Monte Cristo with ham and delicious cheese. Best with a lower sugar raspberry preserve. Yum.

    Cheddar's makes a great Monte Cristo. It is fully deep fried. It is definitely an indulgent sandwich and a once a year type of meal for say a special occasion but oh my gosh is it amazing

  • @twojuiceman
    @twojuiceman ปีที่แล้ว +4

    How about making apple blood from The Owl House? Disney won't say outright that it's alcoholic, but everyone knows that it is. It'd be cool to make a hard apple cider homebrew.😊

  • @austinhall6083
    @austinhall6083 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Okay I normally enjoy your show but I feel like this episode was kind of a miss for me. The sandwich is just a regular Monty Cristo in the show, not really episode worthy, and the second dish you made wasn't even close enough to the actual sandwich to where I could honestly compare the 2.

  • @thebaconbrotato
    @thebaconbrotato ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The second version was WAY too much effort. I'd probably just go with the classic, but the third option looked doable too.

    everybody always looks at me funny when I eat a Monte Cristo. They always ask: "Why did you put Jam on that Ham and Cheese Sandwich!?"
    To which I reply: "I'm weird, leave me alone!"
