Over the past year, I have created two new twists that can make my toes curl. 1) Thick slices of fresh mozzarella with a little dash of herbs. Served along side a big bowl of french onion soup. 2) Sharp horseradish white cheddar cheese, with the occasional slice of corned beef. Mmmmm..
Yes, I realize my favorite treat has wheat in it. Yes, I get sick within 30 minutes of eating my sandwich. No, it by no means diminishes my love of gooey cheese and crunchy, toasty bread. And no, I won't be giving up this vice anytime soon.
As a self-proclaimed NPR junkie, when I saw that the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me guys had discovered the ultimate grilled cheese.. I knew I had to find my way to Denny's. Yes, Denny's. I know. And please, don't talk about the calorie content or mention how my arteries must be doing. I know. But Oh. My. God.
Imagine and perfectly amazing grilled cheese sandwich that just happens to have 4 mozzarella sticks hidden inside. Don't judge me! It was sooooo good!

Less than 48 hours after telling Dan about this sandwich -- we found ourselves sitting in a Denny's diner. Was it grilled cheese overkill? Almost. Did we both get sick? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Not sure... but man was it good!
That is one incredible looking grilled cheese melt... my arteries are clogging just thinking about eating one.
ReplyDeleteMy preferred twist on grilled cheese is to put a bunch of garlic powder and a dash of curry powder on the cheese. The curry powder might be a bit much for you unless you can find a really mild mix though. I'll have to try with the corned beef though, sounds tasty.
