Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich? We certainly do. That’s why our show dedicated to grilled cheese recipes and ideas was so much fun. Because no conversation about grilled cheese—or any cheese for that matter—is complete without New Haven’s Jason Sobocinski (owner of Caseus Fromagerie Bistro, The Cheese Truck, Ordinary, as well as other delicious local endeavors) he joined us in the studio and shared slabs of Narragansett Grilling Cheese with us. Heaven.
Jason helped us understand grilled cheese’s pull on us, why we love it so much, and why the best seat in the house, come Sundays at brunch, is at the Sobocinski kitchen table, where no ingredient is too precious for the waffle iron.
San Francisco’s Heidi Gibson, author of Grilled Cheese Kitchen, also joined the party and introduced us to the most over-the-top grilled cheese we’ve ever seen. Her towering Grilled Cheese Birthday Cake is a great excuse to have friends over. It serves 15-20 people, so invite us over. We’ll come. Unless it’s for brunch. We’re going to Jason’s for brunch.

Thanks for listening, Robin (great name, BTW!). We didn’t get the mac and cheese grilled cheese for FoodSchmooze.org, but you might find it on Heidi’s Facebook page (see link), or you can always order her book or grab it from your local library. Here’s The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen’s Facebook (warning: there are gorgeous pictures of grilled cheeses here. Don’t click if you’re hungry ; ) https://www.facebook.com/theamericansf

My grandma made a kind of reverse grilled cheese we called cheese bread. Good crusty bread like a hunk of baguette (toasted or not) then she took all the bits of cheese left in the lunch meat drawer and melt together in a skillet with a little milk or cream (perhaps replace with wine for a fondue flavor). Then dip the bread and rub it around in the cheese to coat the bread and then turn onto a plate and spoon a little extra cheese on top.
