Looking for a good Monte Cristo in Northern Utah.

Anywhere Logan to Draper, I haven't been able to find one. Does anybody know a local restaurant that has a good Monte Cristo? I would love to chow down on one.

Thanks

    You could also try piper down. I'm not sure exactly what makes a "good" Monte Cristo as I've only had 4 in my life, but the one at Piper Down was pretty tasty.

      I have four potentials for you though I can't speak personally for any of them. I was intrigued by your initial post and have been following it hoping someone will answer, since nobody has I'll offer what I have found out.

      First, my brother recommends the Bluebird restaurant in Logan, his family always orders at least one Monte Cristo for the table and they like it quite a bit.

      Next Normandie's, their version appears to be served on grilled brioche and not deep fried so probably better for the heart but not necessarily for the soul.

      Third, is Zinn's Bistro. Their are numerous reviews of the restaurant, and it appears the food is quite well regarded and the Monte Cristo is specifically called out as a good selection. The bad news is that they appear to be staffed with former concentration camp guards, but if you can put up with that or order to go it's probably a good choice.

      Finally, the Copper Creek Pub & Grub. appears to be the most likely to be a slam dunk, at least city weekly gave them the best western valley restaurant and in the writeup specifically called out the Monte Cristo.

      I am going to go check a couple of these out, hopefully you will too then we can report back what we found.
