Grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food. When done right, it's both crispy and gooey - and overflowing with flavor. Lucky for us, there's no shortage of mouthwatering grilled cheeses in New Jersey. Don't miss the fun flavor combos at The Pop Shop (Medford + Collingswood) or the mix and match magic at American Melts (Kenilworth), but start your quest for the perfect grilled cheese at...
The Grilled Cheese & Crab Cake Company
This Jersey Shore staple can only be described as unforgettable, incredible and, as one reviewer raved... a-freaking-mazing. Sounds about right.
You'll find a unique selection of flavors and the opportunity to build your own grilled cheese with some unbelievable add-ons.
You can customize the grilled cheese of your dreams. First, you choose your bread - White, Rye, Whole, Texas toast or Gluten free. Then you select your cheese (or cheeses) - American, Swiss, Provolone, Monterey jack, Pepper jack, Cheddar, Smoked Gouda, Blue cheese crumbles, Mozzarella and/or Munster. Finish the perfect sandwich with your choice of toppings.Listing them all here would be akin to writing a novel, but these are a few you can select from (at various price points) - fried egg, pickles, sauteed mushrooms, sweet potato fries, bacon, onion rings, mac n cheese, chicken tenders, cheese steak, fried shrimp and crab meat. This is only just the start, there are nearly 30 options in total.
Of course, you can't go wrong with any of the options on the menu.
Try the Cuban Grilled Cheese (ham, grilled pork belly, pickles, yellow mustard, and Swiss cheese) or the "Triple B Melt," built by Guy Fieri. The spectacular sandwich has smoked gouda, smoked brat, onion rings, fried egg, pepper jack, jalapenos, and sriracha.
Speaking of Guy Fieri, the restaurant was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Oh, and it has over 20,000 fans on Facebook, from all over the country. All the attention is well-deserved... not many grilled cheese shops can score such an epic following.
