If you’ve come to have this book in your possession, it might be your 21st birthday. Maybe you’ve just moved into your first apartment. Or maybe you’re just a connoisseur of well-crafted culinary tomes. Regardless, we welcome you and we hope you’re as excited as we are to go on this gooey and effervescent adventure.

We believe in making these sandwiches into more than just college dorm room fodder. They’re an American classic, updated for a foodie dominated era. Not only do we aim to elevate the grilled cheese, but we want to give it a companion. A best friend. A comrade. A brother in arms. A parter in crime. A pairing worthy of the perfection that is melty cheese slapped between two delicious pieces of perfectly toasted bread. And that is the malty, cit
