What is a entrepreneur to do after he makes a fortune from his Flip camera company? Start his own high-tech grilled cheese restaurant, of course. Or at least, that’s what Jonathan Kaplan is doing with “The Melt” restaurant he’s launching. The fast food eatery will offer a variety of cheese sandwiches that can be cooked up in under a minute. Plus, customers will be able to order their food over the phone or internet ahead of time.
I don’t know about you, but I’d be happy to stop by and snack on a yummy cheese sandwich if one of these popped up in my neck of the woods.

Hannah Hart is drunk. Or she’s pretending to be drunk. At any rate, she has a webcam, a kitchen, and a hunger for a grilled cheese sandwich. Don’t we all? This is a great idea for a show, but it needs spinoffs like My Drunk Metal Shop and My Drunk Day Care Center. Content warning: some foul language.

Nothing hits the spot quite like a grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of tomato soup. But it’s been hard to get sloshed on this combination…until now. Clive’s, a bar in Victoria, British Columbia, offers a cocktail called a “Cold Night In” that blends these flavors with alcohol. Here’s how bartender Shawn Sole makes one:
Soole starts with his own batch of “grilled cheese rum” — dark, viscous Mt. Gay “washed” overnight with a real-live grilled cheese sandwich, a seeping process to extract essential flavors and infuse them into the rum, before adding fresh-muddled tomato and basil, salt, Lillet Blanc and Glenfiddich Scotch whiskey. The effect is extraordinary: the grilled cheese rum leaps off the palate with flavors of cheddar, bread and butter, mingled with a dark sweetness, while the Lillet Blanc prevents the texture from veering into Bloody Mary territory. Topping the cocktail off with a drop of Glenfiddich adds a hint of off-the-grill smoke and evokes sipping, grilling and dunking.

What would make a good dessert after a meal of grilled cheese sandwich? Why, a grilled cheesecake sandwich, of course!
Jessie Oleson of Cakespy explains:
Grilled cheese is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. After all, it is sliced bread–with the added awesomeness of cheese and butter. Can it really get any better?
After being hit with what can only be described as a stroke of pure genius, I can definitively say yes. It can get better.
Say hello to the grilled cheesecake sandwich.
"Is this serious?" you may be asking yourself.
Oh yes. Made out of slivered cheesecake layered between slices of buttered pound cake, this sandwich is serious all right–as serious as a heart attack.
A grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup always provided yummy comfort on cold days, but gastronomes haven’t stopped there. Check out ten mouthwatering extentions of our childhood favorite during April, which is National Grilled Cheese month. I’m kinda fiending for the first one, the $15 Grilled Cheese.
This stacked creation was born out of Ontario-based chef Randy Feltis’s adoration for exotic cheeses and thick-cut bread. Melted in between the garlic-, parsley- and butter-seasoned loaf lies a brilliant blend of brie, aged Cheddar, Italian Asiago and Havarti cheeses.
