For National Grilled Cheese Day, I celebrated with the Green Machine ($8) at Millwood Melt. A tiny shop tucked away in Leaside grills up the most perfect cheese sandwiches. To start off, the bread is grilled to a beautiful golden brown and is wonderfully buttery (but not so much so that it ends up all over my hands when I pick it up). I can see the melted cheese slowly oozing from the edge of the sandwich which is a beautiful sight. There's a light crunch as I bite into the crust and yet the sandwich itself is still moist, light and airy. The inside is an ooey gooey mash of avocado, arugula, pesto and Monterey Jack. I liked this lighter herbier blend of flavours to the traditional cheddar cheese and it seemed less overwhelming and healthier. And when paired with the warm, tangy sweet tomato soup ($5), it was the perfect meal to commemorate this holiday.
