    What makes a grilled cheese truly gourmet?

    Take a look at just a sampling of some of the head chef's gooey creations.

    The Five Cheese Classic Blend

    Savory brown-sugared peppered bacon with five cheeses and a house-made tomato jam.

    The Michigan Apple & Cheddar Special

    Fresh local apples, smoked cheddar, sharp cheddar and aged white cheddar with hot honey on fresh-baked sourdough.

    The Dill Pickle

    A double-crunchy sandwich grilled with crushed Better Made chips on the outside, creamy special mayo sauces and sliced pickles with Muenster, Swiss and white smoked cheddar.

    The Jalapeño Popper!!

    House-made jalapeño-cheddar-infused sourdough with a white and orange cheddar melty blend, roasted peppers and house-made ranch dressing.

    The Turkey Brie

    Triple crème Brie and sliced turkey breast with Italian prosciutto.

    The Polish Sausage

    Two authentic Polish sausages grilled with European cheese blends, sauerkraut and mustard sauces.

    The Greektown

    House-made feta and jack cheddar grilled with sun-dried tomatoes and olives, topped with pickled red onions and pepperoncini on sourdough.

    The Reuben

    Corned beef grilled with deli-style gourmet cheeses, thousand-island dressing and sauerkraut.

    The BBQ

    A mountainous stack of sliced beef brisket with coleslaw, barbecue sauce and five chef-selected cheeses on home-made hamburger buns.

    A reminder: this is only a sampling of what awaits your appetite.
