Love this combo.
So you had partial frankenstein BLT with cheese.
Why does everyone want to ruin food with mayonnaise?

It is the perfect companion to a grilled cheese
eh... I could maybe use the cheddar on the outside like he does but no way I could use sharp cheddar for the whole thing, it would be disgusting because sharp cheddar in general is only useful as a splash of flavor not a main dish.
mild cheddar for life.
GRLD : Artisan Cheese Grillery
Instead of cash registers they use antique typewriters; "Let me just type out a proof of purchase voucher here on Ebby" (since you don't want customers thinking you say stupid words like receipt and don't name your antique typewriters.) Do something ironic like offer all compostable utensils and advertise how green you are but then run a gas generator to power some 80s arcade machines outside.

If I'm going to have a straight up grilled cheese I'll go for nostalgia and shit ingredients because that's the way it's supposed to be.
White wonder bread, processed cheese slice, and motherfucking mayo on the outside as it makes a better sear. Butter is fine too but really, it's basically a waste as we're not dealing with top shelf cheese or anything.
And pair that with a can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup for the complete processed sodium bomb of awesomeness. Makes me feel like a kid again.

...hate me...
anyone got that terrible euro grilled cheese with 2 pieces of toasts and a cheese slabbed in the middle, picture from the other thread. I feel like we need to shame it some more.
Anyone else here like to have grilled cheese with Tomato soup?
How is that grilled?
Mayonaise makes sense in a food truck since he needs to cook these quickly.
But at home? Dense bread, sharp cheese, lots of butter, and cook it low and slow. I take about 10-15 minutes to cook a perfect grilled cheese. Bonus points and added flavor for using salted cultured butter.
Serve with some pickles and tomato soup.

Of course all three factor in, but the star is the cheese. You basically have two options when you make a grilled cheese: what bread and what cheese (butter is butter). If I, and I assume most others, had to choose between excellent bread and Kraft Singles or Wonderbread and excellent cheese, it's Wonderbread and excellent cheese every damn time. And I don't hate American cheese completely, it goes damn well on a burger, but it makes for a sad food-stamp grilled cheese.

Terrible? Why would you grill a delicious slice of bread with some good cheese.

I lay down and dream of the grilled cheese from the movie Chef more nights than I want to admit to myself.

I like a sharp cheese, texas style buttered toast, and bacon....then dip in tomato soup.
So good!!
It's fine without the bacon too.
Butter goes in the pan, not on the bread, lest ye be doomed to a soggy mess.
Don't toast it first. You're frying the outside of it in the butter and leaving soft bread on the inside.
Try adding a bit of salt in the melted butter on the pan.

First thing I thought of, the Reddit grilled cheese guy.
Insisting a grilled cheese is ONLY butter, bread and processed American cheese food product is ridiculous.
I would say it is a grilled cheese has to be primarily cheese inside. I.E. mostly cheese and just a little bacon or whatever added.
Least picky eater ever as evidenced by my liking american cheese. And mayonnaise is for fools, but it's still around so people must be buying.
I don't anyone who has tomato soup sitting in their pantry readily available. I mean, I do, but that's because I've been hankering for grilled cheese lately. But normally, no soup in my house.
So you believe a grilled cheese sandwich is a bacon cheese melt?

Isn't American cheese rubber? Gimme real cheese.
This. The oil in the mayo gives you the browning without all the heavy-ness of butter. Use the lightened weight for a couple of cheese varieties.

i've eaten from the grilled cheese truck. Not bad. I liked the Mac & Cheese one.
Anyway, Trader Joe's has a BACON CHEDDAR which I put on their sourdough bread for a grilled cheese and it is really fucking yummy.

God that's such overkill. If you're going to that length, might as well make something actually good and substantive.
