When we spoke to our friend Average Betty this week, she mentioned that she is reporting for the Grilled Cheese Invitational event in downtown Los Angeles this weekend, a culinary competition in search of the perfect grilled cheese! Ever since, we’ve had visions of grilled cheese sandwiches dancing in our heads.
Memories of grilled cheese sandwiches go way back into our school years, tomato soup, white bread, and Kraft cheese, served by Mom with a touch of love. Perfect comfort food. We started to think about chefs, do any of our favorites make a special version of the childhood classic? We set off on a mission to find out!
We found an amazing version of the classic sandwich, courtesy of Chef Christopher Lee from the Gilt restaurant in the NYC Palace Hotel. The Price= $50 on the menu. Featured on Gossip Girl, this is perhaps the most expensive grilled cheese sandwich ever. Not that we watch Gossip Girl, we just heard about this episode! And we have no idea who Chuck Bass is, and have never had a crush on him, really!
We know, times are tough, and most of us are carefully watching our food spending. Fear not, we can show you how to make our version for much less. First, watch the video, and then we will disclose our cost cutting suggestion for the sandwich recipe.
