Incredible grilled cheese?

[shivohum]

Any great grilled cheeses in the city? I like the one that Bouchon does.

Bread has some great varieties.

Forgot to mention above, Despana and Caffe Emilia both have really good grilled cheese sandwiches. The items on their menu are not all vegetarian friendly, but they will accommodate your request. Despana has amazing cheese and you can ask them to make sandwiches with your choice of cheese there! Caffe Emilia is good because they have a lot of different versions and combinations of sandwiches

really surprised that 'ino was not mentioned here. http://www.cafeino.com/menus_bruschet...
get the three cheese panini and, while you are there, get the truffled egg toast. YUM!

It may be heresy here, but EJ's makes a mean one on that faux challah they have..I often finish my kids

I love the grilled cheese at Bar 89. Four kinds of cheese, thick bacon slices and tomato. Yum, now I am going to have to go tomorrow.

I love the gruyere and caramilzed onions at wichcraft. I usually add bacon to it and it's amazinggggg and they don't charge u extra. making it only a whooping $6 for a delicious sammy

Agree that is a great grilled cheese. Never thought to add bacon to it though...I like where you're going with that.

But to be honest, my favorite grilled cheese comes from a diner. Any diner. There is nothing more perfect than a diner grilled cheese.

That's definitely one of my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches. Especially because it's so close to my office - convenience helps. Next time I go I am definitely trying it with bacon!!

[kelea]

Sometimes i up the ante and add avocado as well....go crazy guys and let me know how you like it!

[sugartoof]

That's the one I would have suggested too. I swear they used to have one with pear when they first opened, that was excellent as well, but I don't see it on the menu so maybe I imagined it.

[ballulah]

Nope you didn't. It's on cranberry walnut (or pecan bread), it's pretty good but not outstanding.

[sugartoof]

Hmm, maybe they changed the bread. Don't think I'd order a grilled cheese on a cranberry bread. In fact remember it being more of a sourdough then a harvest, nut berry bread.... but whatever I had I liked at the time.

Say Cheese, on 9th & 45th. Quirky hole-in-the-wall but with a variety of good grilled cheese options.
Googie's, on the UES, used to have the best, R.I.P.

[jakew8]

Say Cheese does have a large variety of sandwiches, but none of them is particularly good in my opinion because they use unsalted butter when they grill. You really need that salty flavor on the outside.

I've never eaten the gruyère sandwich at Wichcraft, but I'd recommend their fontina and black trumpet mushroom grilled cheese. I'm sure that the former is good too.

Hi shivohum,

Smith's on MacDougal (not The Smith in EV) has a grilled cheese sandwich night on Sunday. Not all of them are vegetarian, but I am sure you can request for no meat.

[digsnola]

The Gruyere grilled cheese at Ditch Plains. Best thing on their menu. Haven't had Bouchon.

[roze]

The one ate Resto has is grilled in pork fat and is ridiculously good but not your typical obviously. The Spotted Pig rocks a pretty good grilled cheese as well.

[kathryn]

Yes, it is excellent. Small but very rich and heavy. I think they only have it at lunch/brunch and not dinner.

[kobetobiko]

I recalled shivohum is a vegetarian? perhaps I am wrong...

[shivohum]

Absolutely right. Thanks for remembering! :-)
