It's time to celebrate! April 12 is National Grilled Cheese Day. And while it seems like every day these days is dedicated to one dish or another, we'll take any excuse to get our hands on these glorious sandwiches. Find out where you should grab a flavorsome lunch or dinner with the kids today.
While East Hampton Sandwich Company's menu is full of delectable sandwiches, wraps and salads, their Pesto Chicken Caprese – made with herb-roasted chicken, sun-dried tomato, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, shaved purple onion, fresh basil and basil pesto aioli – is a must. It's gooey mozzarella more than qualifies this beautiful dish as a grilled cheese. Plus, its other intricate flavors create something unique that you can enjoy every day of the week. Make sure to grab the kids their own Grilled Cheese while you are out enjoying the quick-service eatery.
For quality crafted sandwiches made on freshly baked bread, venture over to Great Harvest Bread Company. The premium lunch destination puts their own spin on classics, like their Grown Up Grilled Cheese, made with melted sharp cheddar, provolone, thinly sliced apples, bacon and pepper jelly. Give yourself some time today to sit back, enjoy a cup of Avoca coffee and dig into this scrumptious sandwich.
For good comfort food in a casual environment, park yourself at Lucy's Lot in Grapevine. Their GVTX Grilled Cheese, made with brisket, cheddar, Gouda, caramelized onions and jalapenos, plays around with both sweet and spice to create a well-rounded sandwich.
