Monte Cristo sandwiches don't have jam on them or in them. Which is why it's served on the side. I've eaten MC's all over the country and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the areas that serve it with jam/sugar than the ones that don't. IOW - it's not a regional thing (I don't even think the MC sandwich has a "home state"). I personally think jam and sugar is revolting on an MC. Some places will even use a sweet batter, which is big turn off for me and ruins the whole thing since there's no "opting out" of that. -sw It seems to be the American version of the French 'croque monsieur', which is never served with either jam or icing sugar. The Monte Cristo is often believed to have originated in Los Angeleles but not something so easily provable.
