Grilled Cheese
 
What's the best you have ever had? What kind of cheese do you use?

The best I had was in London, a stand in Borough Market. Don't know what kind of cheese they used, but they had a line like I have never seen before for a grilled cheese. My second favorite was something called Mr. T's Deep Fried Cheese at this stand in Laconia, NH called the Double Decker. It was deep fried in a breaded batter. Totally unhealthy, but I was a kid and didn't care!

Mmmmm grilled cheese
 
I had a really good one a couple months ago in a cafe in Palm Springs (cannot remember which one). It had thick slices of grilled sourdough with parmesan cheese grilled on the bread and several kinds of cheese melted inside. It had brie, gouda, and some others. That was the tastiest grilled cheese sammie I have ever eaten! :p:D

Grilled cheese from room service at the W Seattle. Not sure what kinds of cheese it had, but it was delicious after a 5 1/2 hour flight from Newark.

Chedd's in Denver
 
A restaurant in Denver, Colorado offers more than 30 different cheese choices for a grilled cheese sandwich; you can pair it with an excellent tomato bisque.

And as part of the Rewards Network's Dining Rewards program (at least for AA and probably other airlines) you can even earn extra frequent flyer miles for eating there.

There's a place in Culver City, CA called Melt Down Etc. that is grilled-cheese-centric...I had a Turkey Melt there a couple weeks ago and it was delicious.

ooohhh...hhhhmmmm...I know it was in London, a little cafe near the Museum. Can't remember exactly which street, all I know is that I was starving and freezing and it was just the best tasting thing ever! :D

The best I ever had was at Citizen Cupcake in San Francisco.

Frankly anything I've made at home (with a tomato soup chaser) is the best in comfort food for me. I don't really consider ordering it at a restaurant, may have to rethink this philosophy.

Nespresso Boutique Cafe/Restaurant in 65th/Madion in NYC, have a Grilled Cheese sandwich made with melted Gruyere, and truffle butter. Yum!! Served with Chilled cucumber soup! A perfect meal! Costs $14.50 without tax or tip

I recently made a grilled cheese with huntsman and a good, crusty baguette left over from a party. I spent the rest of the day wondering what I'd been doing with my life. (Coincident to the above post, I've had several with cucumber soup this summer.)

Red Stripe, in Providence, makes a grilled cheese with pear and prosciutto that, with frites, is truly worth the $13 they charge.

Cheese on Toast as been my default late-night drunken snack for decades.
It's based on whatever is in the fridge but over the years I've sort of come to my idea of heaven.
Grill one side of the bread - then turn over and half grill the other side before using grated mature cheddar topped with finely-chopped spring onions,tomato and some thinly-sliced chorizo.
Drizzle a good nut oil over the top of that then coat with freshly-ground pepper and sea salt.
Whack it under a very hot grill and there's just time to open another bottle of wine before all is ready.
You're welcome to stop by and join me and Mrs Showbizguru for a chow down but unfortunately we don't offer Frequent Cheese Miles.

Perfectly chosen to complement some high-alcohol, booming Aussie reds. ^

My home made with jalapeno jack cheese on French bread. Jalapeno jack cheese also makes a killer soup.
