The Count of Monte Cristo: Café Rescue

Revenge is a dish best served cold. But nothing caps a well-earned payoff decades in the making like helping to share a hot-served monte cristo sandwich with the world.  Having finally settled into his long-awaited retirement, this reality series follows a bored Edmond Dantes as he travels 19th century Europe finding failing cafes and helping them find success by updating their menu, service and décor. And the center piece of every menu? The monte cristo sandwich, of course. Part Kitchen Nightmares, part Bar Rescue, part No Reservations and part Bridgerton (we assume), this series fills the long empty niche of period piece food-based reality travel series melodramas.
