Diner on Main in Alhambra

Koji ordered the fried rice. Fried rice? We must be in Alhambra. I ordered the Monte Cristo. This is like a donut sandwich. It's two huge french toasts with turkey and ham with a cream sauce. For the record, the server recommended the Club. I should have ordered that but the MC was fun to eat. It's intense, decadent and extremely filling. Because I ate all of it and the fries it came with, I couldn't order the banana split. I must return for the banana split. I must....
