One of my favorites, though I don't get it very often is a Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey and cheese on a fairly dry French toast(or white bread, batter the whole thing and deep fry it). It is served with raspberry jam or jelly. Pretty yummy.
Second favorite is a French Dip. Thinly sliced roast beef on a buttered, toasted hoagie roll with swiss. Dip in au jus'.
On your cast iron griddle:
Heat the griddle and melt a tablespoon of butter on it. Slice a good roll or two. Put face-down on the griddle to toast.
Somewhere on the side, have an onion sliced, ready to go, and a half-pound of good roast beef, thinly sliced. I get this at the deli counter of the local grocery. They sell a great Cajun roast beef, exactly what I want.
Bread's toasted? Good! Set it aside, toss a little more butter on the griddle, toss the onions on there, saute' them a bit and shove them off to the side. On the greasy griddle, drop a couple of handfuls of sliced beef, one for each sandwich.
Assemble the sandwiches, piling onions and roast beef. I don't add mustard or mayonnaise to mine. The butter, onions and roast beef are flavor enough.

I'm getting a sandwich press, old school style smooth one not none of this yuppie a$$ panini lookin mess with griddle lines all in it..
Down on the Mississippi Gulf Coast we make po boys, which are usually either roast beef w/gravy, or shrimp/crab/oyster. The trick to the real deal po boy, is not using hoagie buns but a fresh made French bread that is light and airy in the middle, with a thin crust, one where the middle squashes easily and doesn't try to squirt the insides out and all down your shirt/pants leg. This -real deal- po boy bread is ELUSIVE as unicorn horn once you get away from the coast. It's baked with no preservatives, and a good po boy restaurant might get deliveries from the bakery more than once a day, so your sandwich bread is really fresh, and even that adds to how squishy the inside is. This, is *critical* to making a proper po boy! The sandwich press is optional, but the way they are served down there is often "pressed and dressed" meaning lettuce, tomato, mayo, and presssed in the sandwich press to brown the top and bottom of the bread. NOW, we talkin!
I will post a recipe for this po boy bread soon, I want the sandwich press on hand so I can make a real deal crabmeat po boy and test it out, I will post the recipe for it after I know it works correctly.
Edit: Offered $20, seller took it, hope it works like everything else made back when this one was made! http://www.ebay.com/itm/280823454383...84.m1439.l2649

What kind of cheese?
I like me dem turkee ruebens. Great sour taste w/o the guilt of corned processed beef. Yessir.
My panini press has reversible plates, smooth or ridged. I prefer the smooth side, makes more crunch
my wife eats oatmeal everyday. I call it grewl!! Im more of a sausage and bacon guy. Might live 5 years less but ill enjoy my time here.
Lloyd Smale, cholesterol and high blood pressure run in my family. Im just trying to postpone the genetic inevitable...but I'll definitely try some of these sammiches...liking the cheese, jalopeno one.
I'm on Lloyd's side. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart damage. Will probably not live a full life and don't give a rats butt. I said to heck with the cholesterol pills..cause muscle problems and I eat what I darn well please. If I want a darn sandwich I'm going to have one.
I'd rather have a smooth one myself but will settle for something that works well. Not into the trendy stuff...too old.
Grilled Reuben or monte christo.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
I take blood pressure and colesteral meds every day right along with my bacon and eggs in the morningWhen i die i want it quick with a piece of bacon in my mouth and a bud in my hand!!
Fellers...just because I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast doesn't mean I'm not thinking about having that Monte cristo and a High Life for lunch!! Or perhaps dinner if I'm not at work! !
Is that a grilled Patched Ball.Sorry but being from across the pond the abreviations are greek to me.

Its gruel. And only 1 letter short from cruel...
Always had a weakness for ham and swiss with a spicy mustard on rye bread. Even better with a good bowl of home made bean soup.

Thick Slice of Bread dipped in beaten Egg then fried in lard and topped with grated Chedder and Bacon and Pickled Jalapenos.
The following day eat only lettuce as a penance for your previous indulgence.
