It’s National Grilled Cheese Day! 12 ultimate grilled cheese recipes
It’s National Grilled Cheese Day. This sandwich, unlike the culinary subjects of other food-related national holidays, deserves an entire day devoted to its beauty.

I don’t just mean your ears perk up and you start to salivate. I mean really excited -- take off your shirt, swing it around your head, jump on the nearest car and howl like a werewolf excited.
Law enforcement should prepare for the worst. Maybe get the riot gear ready. The Huffington Post recently posted a story about someone being stabbed over a place in line at a Chipotle in D.C. No clue why this has not happened yet outside of the Foundry Restaurant over Eric Greenspan’s short rib grilled cheese sandwich.
