I'm inclined to give them a pass on that one given the many variations of Russian and Thousand Island and the possible overlap.

I've only had one at a chain, Bennigan's, which came and went from our local mall in less than a year's time. As far as I know it was "authentic" although swiss may not be the official cheese of the original. It did come with a side of raspberry jam but no peanut butter.
Good or bad, I can no longer stomach one. Too fatty, too cheesy and way too sweet for my current crop of taste buds.
