| - I'm sure it's crossed more than a few minds the idea of opening a restaurant of sorts that specialized in grilled cheese sandwiches. How would you do it? A small cozy nook someplace in a hip, roots level area of town. You'd offer a variety of breads as well a variety of cheeses. In fact why not give people the option to add meat and veggies to their grilled cheese sandwich too? To top it off add some gratis potato chips and a slice of pickle. That my friends is what The Grilled Cheese in Kensington Market has done.
I went in on a Sunday afternoon and was lucky to not have to wait to order my sandwich as I've seen this establishment become quite busy at times with a line up of local fans. I ordered the Hamlet on rye which included cheddar cheese, ham, onions, and tomato. It came in a basket with chips and a pickle. The sandwich was grilled in a common restaurant sandwich griller as oppose to the old school spatula-squish method. The results were pretty good as the cheese was hot n gooey while the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich maintained their consistency. I devoured it all in record time. It was gooood. The gal who made the sandwich came over and asked how I liked it. I smiled and pointed at my empty food basket "All gone!"
The grilled cheese sandwiches here come in a number of variations to suit anyone's taste. For example you have the "Classic" (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Provolone, and Tomato), the "Black Jack" (Jalapeno Monterey Jack, Tomato, Spinach, and Black Olive Pesto) the "Dill-icious" (Dill Havarti, Basil Pesto, Sundried Tomato, and Onion) and many more variations on the grilled cheese theme can be found. You also have the choice of adding select meats to your sandwich for $2. more. In fact if the place is not too busy you can have them construct the grilled cheese sandwich of your dreams with any of their available ingredients.
Decor-wise the place has warm wood tones and is open to the street for those who want to take in Kensington Market life as they munch away. There is even a small patio for those wanting to soak in more of the summer sun.
The sandwiches tend to be a tad pricey, you don't come here to stuff yourself silly on the cheap. More so you come here to fulfill your craving for a yummy grilled cheese sandwich with superior ingredients which this establishment does quite admirably. I'd recommend this place as a must go to if your ever in the Kensington Market area.
Tip: Apparently the sparse amount of potato chips you get with your grilled cheese sandwich is to do to the fact most people barely touch them, thus many of the chips served end up tossed to waste. If however you promise the person at the counter to eat all your chips then I'm sure they'll be more than happy to add a good helping along side your sandwich.
