I love a good grilled cheese. But, where does one draw the line between a grilled cheese and a grilled sandwich with cheese? Many restaurants feature "gourmet" or "artisanal" grilled cheese sandwiches, like:

* Sourdough bread
* Gruyere cheese
* Caramelized onions
* Sautéed mushrooms
* Fresh tomato

Would you consider this a grilled cheese or vegetarian sandwich, with cheese?

IMO, a great grilled cheese should be downright simple -- great cheese and great bread. Everything else is just a sandwich. :)

At my last museum job, I was told I was a Communist because I responded that I didn't like grilled cheese when some of the people working there asked me how I make grilled cheese sandwiches. That's what they asked me the first time they met me because, and I quote, "You can tell a lot about a person by the way they make grilled cheese." And, I guess they were able to tell I was a Communist........

Ah yes, it is a well known fact that Karl Marx was not a fan of grilled cheese. It's one of the most accurate precursors to whether or not you are communist.

Myself, I like grilled cheese. But you have to wonder how these dumb rumors get started. I imagine they were kidding, but you never know. When I was in high school I had someone start the rumor that I was a communist because I said that there was merit to the socialized medicine system in Sweden. By the end of the day the rumor had spun into my being a Satan worshiper. When my friend told me, I cracked up, and for the rest of the time I was at school I was throwing the devil horns at the rumor mongers just to spook them.

I really don't care for grilled cheese too much anymore. I'll definitely take a juicy burger, or grilled chicken with some cheese on it though :)

Try using mayo instead of butter on bread for a beautiful golden crust! I do use a little Pam on the pan but you don't have to.

Seriously? I have no problem with grilled cheese, but why is there a National Grilled Cheese Day? How many superfluous "national" days can American people come up with?

Grilled cheese is great ! A warm, comforting, childhood food. And since it's a cold, rainy day it would have been perfect for lunch. I didn't have it, but it would have been perfect.

And seriously...for crap's sake, who, I mean who, needs two sandwiches with a burger in the middle? I'm a big mama, and I don't think any one person needs to eat that much at one sitting! Also, if you slap a slice or two of cheese on a hamburger, you've got the same flavor and a more normal portion of food!

I think the point was to make fun of the overindulgent, supersize that mentality people have in their eating habits and the mass obesity it has caused or contributed to.

My comment was about the unncessary amount of carbohydrates with the awareness several people I know are diabetic and have to limit their daily intake of them.
