--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2002-01-11T04:44:00' draft: false title: Monte Christo present --- Chris and I received a number of lovely wedding gifts. It's been longer than Miss Manners would ever allow, but we are beginning to work on thank-you cards to everyone. One gift in particular I can share with you all: [Dissection of a Monte Cristo](http://www.nmt.edu/~kscott/montecristo/). The El Camino restaurant, located in my former home of Socorro, New Mexico, makes the best version of the Monte Christo sandwich I have ever tasted. In Georgia, I've not found a place that makes *any* version, so it's been something I've been especially nostalgic for. Thanks to KScott, I can now make as many of these at home as I can eat. And so can you. Thank you, KScott!
