The (F)unemployment Special - Poundcake Grilled Cheese with Brie, Fig Jam, and Rosemary Butter
Little Devil (on horseback) - Bacon Wrapped Dates and Blauschimmel Grilled Cheese
Guess what everybody? I finished grad school FOREVER. Yep, that's right, no more finals, papers, assignments or pop-quizzes for me. I can't even explain how happy I am that I don't have to make the hike from Brooklyn to Morningside Heights Harlem on the reg anymore. Even though my official graduation isn't until tomorrow, my […]
Señor Snappy - Roast Pork, Queso, Plantain, Pickled Red Onions and Jalapeno Grilled Cheese
¿Como estas mis amigos? Are you super excited that today is Cinco de Mayo? Because I sure as am. I've got my tequila chilling in the fridge and my El Guincho (NSFW) record playing on repeat. The limes and salt are set up like a shrine to our Lady Guadalupe and I've got my sombrero […]
The Badger Poutine - Poutine Grilled Cheese with Cheese Curds, French Fries, Gravy and Beer Bread
Cheese curds, gravy, and french fries, OH MY! You may be rubbing your eyes or pinching yourself in disbelief as you feast your eyes upon this savory poutine smothered between two pieces of delicious beer bread. But let me assure you, this is real life and really, really, really scrumptious. And what better way to […]
Pretzel Roll Grilled Cheese with Chow Chow & Sweet Hot Mustard
The other day I was strutting around walking like a normal human being around Trader Joe's with my headphones feeding me some sweet, sweet melodies from Steely Dan, when all of a sudden a pretzel loaf caught my eye. "What was this?" I asked, only to feel a wave of excitement roll through me like […]
Blue Cheese Grilled Cheese with Morbier, Pear and Tupelo Honey
I get no greater joy than from jumping out behind a door and scaring the **** out of my friends. With my recent infatuation with Matthew Gray Gubler Criminal Minds (yes, i'm a dork) the scaring/spooking/pranking has hit an all time high. So it's no surprise that one of my friends would fall victim to […]
The CROW - Swiss Grilled Cheese with Fried Hogfish, Red Onion, and 1000 Island
As a kid growing up on Captiva Island, FL I was surrounded by fresh and delicious seafood all the time... The only problem back then was that I was super allergic to seafood. Luckily for me, I've grown out of my fish allergy (still allergic to shellfish, FML) and have come to LOVE what I've […]
Grilled Chees'a'dilla - Cheddar, Pineapple, and Black Bean Grilled Cheese Quesadilla
Whelp, i'm back in Brooklyn and missing the warm weather and the beach. I can't even believe how chilly it is right now. I left 75 degree weather only to be greeted by freezing disgusting rain/slush and cloudy skies...YUCK! Whatevs though, at least I can still eat like I'm at the beach. I had this […]
Fried Tempeh Reuben with Swiss and Pickled Red Cabbage
The Irish know what's up, for real. I mean for me St. Patrick's Day has become a holiday that I celebrate by drinking way too much green beer, devouring chocolate coins, and annoying the h*** out of my redhead friends (sorry guys, i love you all). Oh and how could I forget my incessant need […]
Pizza Grilled Cheese with Pepperoni and Basil
Guess what?! I just finished my last midterms of grad school EVER. Oh yes, i'm super pumped and even more excited that this Friday marks the beginning of my spring break!

Turkey and Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese with Avocado and Peppadew
Over break I ate way, way, way too much. I don't know if this had something to do with the fact that my mom's a food-pusher (someone who makes delicious food all day long and forces you to eat when you're not hungry) or that I didn't really have a whole lot to do. Either […]
Pesto Gouda and Sun Dried Tomato Gouda Grilled Cheese
Omfg I think South Florida's getting to me. I went to a reggae bar this week and actually really had a lot of fun. Usually when a Bob Marley song comes on I roll my eyes and try to gab about how played out this stuff is, and how they should listen to The Slits […]
Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese with beets, kale, and mushrooms
Since I've been back in Florida for about a week and a half now, I've come to a startling realization - Florida thrift stores are RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. You'd think that by living in Brooklyn I'd be spoiled by all the secondhand stores that litter lower Manhattan, but nope - not true. Most of the thrift […]
Gouda Grilled Cheese with Ham and Sweet Gherkins
So it's been a while since I did a post thanks to finals week, Christmas shopping, and traveling back to Florida. I haven't been home in FOREVER (8 months I think?) so I'm completely taking advantage of the opportunity to be lazy and avoid real life. My holiday mantra is totally reflected in this grilled […]

Thanks'gibbons - Leftover Thanksgiving Grilled Cheese
This Thanksgiving leftover grilled cheese may not be pretty, but it sure is delicious! Imagine a stuffed biscuit filled with all the leftovers and then smothered in gravy. It's heavenly! Thanksgiving Leftovers Grilled Cheese For the first time in my life I didn't spend Thanks'gibbons with my family. I was really depressed about missing my […]
The Old Goat - Tome Chabrin, drunk mushrooms, and herbs
When it starts to get cold my roommates and I make our annual switch from gin to whiskey. Around October we always have a bottle of Jim Beam ready to roll in our kitchen, but we're not alcoholics, I swear think. We love this stuff and I was thinking about how much fun it would […]
Cheddar Cheddar BANG BANG!! - Candied Bacon, Pickled Jalapeno and Cheddar Grilled Cheese
I had candied bacon for the first time at Egg in Williamsburg a few months ago. It was the most delicious and orgasmic meat I've ever had and I couldn't get enough of this stuff! So obvs I've been thinking about it ever since then. Finally, enough was enough, I couldn't take it any longer […]
Smashed Meatball Grilled Cheese with Rosemary and Olive Oil Asiago and Onion Bread
I saw something somewhere about a danklicious smashed meatball grilled cheese and I thought it was an awesome idea. I totally forgot about it for a little while until yesterday when I was at Trader Joe's. They had this amazing looking Asiago that's flavored with rosemary and olive oil. YUM, right? So anyways, I had […]

Green Haze - Pesto Verde Gouda, sun-dried tomatoes, and Garlic Grilled Cheese
Halloween is right around the corner and i've been trying to come up with some spooky concoctions for a creepy new Halloween Grilled Cheese.

Cheez-on-Indian - Indian Grilled Cheese with Curried Vegetables and Paneer
When one of my readers asked for an Asian themed GC, it was all I could think about. I was doing some research on Asian cheeses and didn't really find a whole lot because I was thinking that the sammie had be Southeast Asian. But alas, I found a loophole. It's still considered Asian even […]
Fabrice Fabrice Caprese - Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Grilled Cheese
I just spent four dollars on ONE tomato. Yep, I have a problem. I think I could have probably gotten this entire sandwich for that much money somewhere else, but nope, I had to get the biggest, most beautiful heirloom tomato from union square. And it was totally worth it. So basically after buying this […]
The East Villager - Butternut Squash Grilled Cheese with Gouda and Bacon
About a month ago I got a ton of emails about some mystery man who was doing a super secret underground grilled cheese delivery service. I was instantly intrigued and thought it was one of the most awesome things i had ever heard of. Well guess what?! I finally got his number and today my […]
Olé, Y'aaaaaaaaaaaaal - Fried Green Tomato Grilled Cheese with Queso Fresco on Cornbread
Throughout undergrad at FSU (go noles! whoop whoop!) my Uncle Bro (who is the most bad ass chef you'll ever meet) would come over every Monday night to cook for me and my friends. Although I live super far from Tallahassee, Bro and I still have super long conversations about food and he's always coming […]
The Bedforder - Sharfe Maxx Grilled Cheese with Chicken Apple Sausage
About a month ago I moved out of the city to Williamsburg. Although I miss the convenience of being close to whole foods (specifically my cute cheese guy) and a million other little gourmet markets, I found one of the best cutest cheese shops EVER. Bedford Cheese Shop is super amazing and the staff is […]
MacNcheesy - Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Cheese
If you had to guess my second favorite food what do you think it would be? I'll give you a little hint, it's almost exactly like a grilled cheese but a wee bit different..... give up? Ok, alright, yeah fine i'll tell ya. The answer is mac n cheese! Surprised? haha I didn't think so […]
The Quencher - apricot stilton and dried cranberry grilled cheese
Omg it has been way tooo hot here. So hot that I haven't really had an appetite or the willpower to stand in my kitchen and sweat my ass off (ohh, new york summer). Hard to believe, right? I know gahhh it sucks but this sammie is great because it takes about two minutes once […]
Summer Lovin' - Brie Grilled Cheese with Figs, Honey and Pinenuts
When I see figs start to arrive at the grocery I get super excited, not just normal excited, but more of a OMG FIG TIME!! excitement. I don't know what it is about these little succulent fruits but something about them makes me finally believe and feel like summer is here! To my amusement I […]
The Sloppy P - Chili Cheese Dog Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions on Wonder Bread
4th of July is one of my favorite times of the year. Not only is this weekend filled with booze, fireworks, and beach time - it is also one of my best friend's birthdays. This little lady, Perri, helped me come up with a seriously American themed GC that also reflected her favorite thing to […]
The Out-of-Towner - Gruyere and Swiss Grilled Cheese with Salami and Basil
One of my good friends and fellow grilled cheese enthusiasts, Christian Torres, came and visited the city last week. Torres is an amazing photographer who resides in Atlanta, Georgia... AND he just so happened to make a nifty exchange with me. I agreed to make him lots of GC's if he agreed to use his […]

The Smith - French Toast Grilled Cheese with Mascarpone and Apricot Jam
Last week I went back to Florida (my home state!) for my cousin Autumn's wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and it was the first time I had been with my entire family in over a year. Being around everyone made me realize how different we all are and also how we have always bonded over […]
GC101 - Plain and Simple Grilled Cheese
Although I typically stray from the average when I'm creating recipes for Grilled Cheese Social, I think that the basic grilled cheese that we all grew up loving is just as good as any fancy sammy I come up with. This recipe will provide the back to basics approach and explain why I do what […]
Doctor's Orders - Havarti and Apple Grilled Cheese
This GC is inspired by one of my best friends - Kristine. I lived with this lovely lady for three years and have seen her go from barely knowing how to boil water to being a brilliant chef-in-the-making. She came up with this recipe after we took a trip to Boston and ate at this […]
Prosciuttous Maximus - Taleggio Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto and Arugula
After hanging out with my favorite boys the other day, they expressed the need for some serious meat time. Of course I had some new sandwiches lined up so I cooked them up this little salty treat. Oh, and my good friend Pete came up with the super masculine name of prosciuttous maximus. Love. So […]
Sweet Thang - Cinnamon Raisin Bread Grilled Cheese with Goat Cheese and Almonds
Like most of us, my sweet tooth gets out of control A LOT. Additionally, like most of us, I had never really thought of a grilled cheese as something sweet to eat at the end of a meal. After this, my mind changed, and hopefully after you try this, your mind will change too! So, […]
