Tried the chicharron de queso, which was good but I thought the focus wasn't quite on the cheese ..
Want to try the fontina next :P--burumun

Man, I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I spent the last few days thinking about the Monte Cristo (it's hard to find a good one; only spots I've had a really good one are Disneyland and in Vegas), only to find out they were out of them! Ugh.
Oh well, I had Oliver's Grilled Cheese instead, and it was still very good. Cheesy with a nice subtle spice that complemented the soppresata very well. My only very small complaint, is why is everyone "panini-grilling" their sandwiches? It tends to make them too crunchy (and "ridge-y") for me and tends to cut the roof of my mouth.
