I still like a nice, simple grilled cheese with some nice cheddar on good bread, even in my adult years. I don't think I would eat the concoctions posted here, but adding a few slices of bacon never hurt anybody.

Dressing up old classic just creates an old classic with a whole lot of **** on top.

When it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches, I'm back to the basics -- cheddar or American cheese on grilled rye, white, sourdough or whole wheat. With some tomato and pickles slices. Anything more elaborate than that, and I've always been disappointed for some reason.

I'm going to cook up a nice sandwich of colby jack and smoked bacon. So hungry now.

I like to do cheddar and this great multi-grain bread (Roman Meal 12 grain) in olive oil. It's a freaking delicious sandwich.

Sorry about the geography. Not from Cleveland. I thought it was pretty good, enjoyed the atmosphere and the people as well -- the best part about Cleveland. Some options, were, of course, over the top but hey.

There is this place in venice that used to do a wonderful grilled cheese with fontina (and perhaps something else?) and shrimp, ridiculous.

Edam, medium gouda, swiss (ementhal)

The saltiness of Edam comes out really nice when melted. My favourite for GC.

There was a good episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay focusing on the grilled cheese. They came up with some interesting recipes, but I still prefer the regular old double grilled cheese on potato bread with American cheese.

Cheddar and thin slices of avocado. First, heat up one side of the bread in the pan. The heated side will be your inside side. Then add one layer of cheddar to each piece of bread (the cheddar should stick because the bread is hot). Lay the slices of avocado on top of the cheddar on one piece of bread and then slap the other piece of bread (and cheddar) on top. Cook as normal. I prefer white sharp cheddar.
