On the heels of restaurants dedicated to mac-and-cheese comes one that focuses on another classic and beloved comfort food, grilled cheese. Grilled Cheese To Go in Milford’s Connecticut Post Mall offers ‘good old-fashioned, delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and soups.’
The menu is simple: four choices of bread (Italian, rye, whole wheat, multigrain) five cheeses (American, cheddar, muenster, provolone, light swiss) and ‘toppings’ such as tomato, bacon, onion and basil. Tomato soup is always offered, and there’s also a soup of the day.
I say: Yummy, but maybe a few more choices. Sure, the classic buttery grilled cheese with standard American is the most familiar. But the foodie in me would kick it up with fresh mozzarella, brie, sourdough, ciabatta. Add ham and/or turkey, roasted peppers, portobello mushrooms, roasted garlic, marinara sauce (pizza grilled cheese?) Serve something that people wouldn’t necessarily make at home.
Either way, it’s a really fun restaurant concept and I’m sure it’s a popular food-court stop for shopping moms with kids in tow. And who couldn’t use a little comfort food these days?

Grilled cheese sandwiches are not only my favorite comfort food, they’re a great fail-safe. Even the sketchiest diner or cafeteria can usually serve up an edible one.
Brendan always says I make the best grilled cheese, not because I do, but because they show up on a plate in front of him and they are free!

see, when I was reading that they had tomato and basil for “toppings” I immediately thought how good that would be with a mozzarella.
I might have to try making one myself:)
