"The Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans has a dedicated fan base, but the thick batter coating of the deep-fried sandwich can get greasy and feel too heavy in the middle of a long day at the park. Enter the Waffle Cristo at Royal Street Veranda, which solves the signature sandwich’s biggest problem. This version is a thin, savory waffle filled with rosemary ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, served with maple syrup and strawberry jam for dipping. One note: they’re only served at breakfast and often sell out, so get there early." - Julie Tremaine
