Uptown "gorilla" Cheese Sandwiches
To this day we still refer to grilled cheese sandwiches as "gorilla" cheese - a name our son, Jesse, gave his favourite restaurant order when he was a toddler! Half the fun, of course, was seeing the waitress' reaction! This "uptown" version has become a regular for us on Sunday nights.
