In the U.S. April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day. Crispy bread and melted cheese, how can something so simple be so delicious? This was my absolute favorite sandwich as a kid, the type of bread and cheese made no difference, although my Mom usually used American cheese on Wonder Bread. For me, this was the ultimate comfort food and paired with a bowl of hot soup I could dip it in, it was nirvana.Â
Confession time. Even though I have upgraded my taste in cheeses and bread, this is still my comfort food of choice. And if I am being perfectly honest, the very meltable American cheese is a hit. I do prefer a good sourdough or rye bread, but wheat will do as well.Â
SunStar April 11, 2021 The sandwich comes with a seemingly endless list of iterations, but nothing quite compares to the humble grilled cheese. Its simplicity and the straightforwardness of indulging in toasty buttered bread with nothing but cheese and more cheese seem like peak indulgence in terms of food.
Since today is Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, we think it’s only right that we celebrate with the rest of the world. Here’s a roundup of places here in Cebu City where you can get your cheese on:
The Neighborhood Cafe

It’s go big or go home for this one. Five kinds of cheeses mozzarella, Emmental, parmesan, cheddar and Monterey Jack are cradled by thick-cut buttered white bread and slathered with a secret special sauce. Each order comes with a side of crispy shoestring fries too. The Neighborhood Cafe is located on J. Fortich St. in Banawa.
