I've seen them on menus very occasionally in recent years - definitely a retro cool thing. Of course with better ingredients, and usually minus the frozen peas.
Not gonna lie I do enjoy making a hot sandwich with thanksgiving leftovers and do have a soft spot for gravy soaked bread. I'm sure the example posted above isn't very good of course. Hell, a lot of the food posted here recently I'd probably eat if a similar version was made by a local pub and not some shitty chain.
