Two recent sandwiches that I've eaten have similar profiles.
Fried Bologna, Twisted Spoke
Not really fried, really more of a griddled bologna sandwich, but still quite good. Extra points for the inclusion of raw onion. "The Spoke" is one of those places that never wows me, but always makes me happy.
Grilled Ham and Cheese, The Depot American Diner
I'm not sure I needed a double-decker for this sandwich, but that's how they serve it. The Depot is a straight-up diner, lovingly restored and using ample amounts of fresh ingredients. They've got a pretty nice open-face turkey sandwich (with real turkey, not the supermarket deli crap) and egg creams!. I'm not sure I'd order this sandwich again, but as far as ham & cheese goes, this is one of the better ones that I can remember eating.
The Twisted Spoke is at 501 N Ogden Ave (at Grand) (312) 666-1500, and at 3365 N Clark St, Chicago - (773) 525-5300 www.twistedspoke.com
The Depot American Diner is at 5840 W. Roosevelt, (773) 261-8422
