One of my favorite sandwiches, EVER! And it's not in Chicago. Sad face, very sad face.

R & O's (Roland & Ora's) in lovely New Orleans/Metairie at 216 Old Hammond Hwy. has one of the best sandwiches I have ever put in my mouth. Period! The R & O special is Monte-licious!! And actually worth traveling out to, it is amazing!

The R & O special is chunks/chips/strips of roast beef in an absolutely amazing brown/beef gravy, topped with fried/shaved ham, tomato which I remove, cheese which I remove, mayonnaise, lettuce, and pickles on a house made bun with some sesame seeds. It is sloppy, delicious, and a real freakin delight to eat.

They also have awesome, home made desserts. They are really made at someones home and brought into the restaurant. The desserts aren't on the menu, but there are hand made signs up all over that list the desserts.

Also, they have really cute waitresses, as well as few that aren't.

I love R & O's and I love Nola!!!!
