| - This is a sister store of Pickle Barrel, I'd wanted to try it on my previous visit to the food court, but I was hesistant since the main thing about this place is grilled cheese.
I get it, grilled cheese, I make it at home and I've yet to find a place that makes a really good grilled cheese that's worthy of my hard earned money (I'm not a fan of homemade cooking, if it tastes like I could make it at home, I've spent too much).
While the food court is nice, I find the overall options to be lack luster. Nothing really fancing calls out to me. I decided to take a bite and go to Glow Press. Then there was the problem of deciding to get the regular grilled cheese $7 includes 2 sides, or get a 'gourmet grilled cheese'. I don't like saucy sandwiches...and I asked the girl for her opinon and expressed my reluctance to try something new. "Be adventurous" She said, and I bit. I got the "So Cali", chicken, red peppers, avocado, monteray Jack cheese, Chipotle sauce on twelve grain bread". It's one of Rose Reisman's 'healthy choices'.
I should have known better, it never pays to be a risk taker. I noticed the person ahead of me had her sandwich to go, and the box was quite large. Ok I thought, this is going to be good. I was wrong. I got mine to eat there and I got a small sized sandwich (not much bigger than the bread you get from the grocery store) There wasn't much cheese action I'll tell you that and when I mean action, I mean taking a bit and the cheese gets so cheesy that you have to pull your head way back and push the sandwich away to stop the cheesy goodness.
Not a bad sandwich but not a great one. Would I go back? Not for that. They also have lobster mac n' cheese, and while I am tempted I think I should probaby try making it myself at home instead *Hint: I've never made it before.
They've got some cute mini desserts but at 3.49 for what is literally a big giant scoop of cheese cake or mousse I think I'll pass. Ah, what am I saying', I'll bite again!
