Kalamazoo Growlers Hosting Michigan’s First Grilled Cheese Fest
We all grew up eating some of the simplest meals like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, and spaghetti. While these safe and delicious options always hit the spot, there is one simple meal that doesn't get the love and recognition it deserves, the grilled cheese sandwich. Who knew that cheese and bread could taste so good together?
I don't know about you, but I've always been a huge fan of grilled cheese sandwiches. When you get the right amount of char and golden brown to mix with the gooey cheese, it's like a match made in heaven. Now, I may be a little crazier than others, but my grilled cheese needs a few dashes of hot sauce to add a kick of flavor.
