To this day, I still remember what it was like eating at that place which we dined at often.... that is if you were able to get and find yourself a table, because the place was always brimming at happy hour with diners and bar patrons alike. I continued eating there as I would continue to age into adulthood and always either ordered the monte Cristo, the southwest sampler which consisted of 3 southwestern egg rolls and a spicy pineapple dip, 3 quesadillas, and nachos. The monte Cristo is certainly something everyone needs to try one time or more, the battered and deep fried sandwich with Turkey, ham, swiss and American cheeses with a raspberry preserves dip. The southwest sampler was also very good and so large it could be shared. A local management company in mt pleasant owned the rights to the franchise in the state of Michigan and in this community owns a few other restaurants. It was always such a treat, so I was really disappointed with the last several years when I learned that the food was no longer the same and to drive by the restaurant and see it devoid of patrons and to eat there and find nobody webbed the food taste nothing like it used to Classicnascarfan88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17888675869876440555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-71572317603559824222019-03-24T16:13:43.629-04:002019-03-24T16:13:43.629-04:00Holler if you head this way :)

One of my favorite local joints recently added a Ben's-style Monte Cristo to their menu (deep fried, rolled in sugar, served with jam) and it tasted good in the first few bites, then left me feeling sick and sad. I think humans were just meant to age out of food that heavy and overpowering.Zach Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08792170128141630887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-10416404176050571422019-03-13T22:44:00.922-04:002019-03-13T22:44:00.922-04:00Anyone remember "Chicken Cordon Bennigan'...Anyone remember "Chicken Cordon Bennigan's"?????<br />I loved it in the early 90's while working for Chrysler.
