THE NAVAJO

The Navajo image

My cousins and I went to The Cheescake Factory and this sandwich was on the menu. It sounded really delicious but unfortunately, it was like $11 or $12 dollars so I settled for something else. But if you also think it sounds awesome, then try it and let me know if it really is. :)
