Making a grilled cheese sandwich look ‘buy-this-book-now’ amazing is sometimes harder than grilling one.
We took two takes on our Belgian Onion Soup Sandwich. Above is the first that got vetoed. And here’s the second one that made the cut.
Both are melty and scarf-able, but ultimately we voted down that sprinkling of scallion tips as 80s-nouvea bullshit and the yellow plate as too kiddy-colored, like a big Kraft Singles. Did we make the right choice? We think so, if for no other reason than sandwich #2’s psychotic curly cue of melted gruyere.
