Beecher’s Flagship Handmade Cheese
I must start this blog entry with what I think was a pretty funny story; I just hope you find it funny as well (even if it is dorky). I wanted to make a new grilled cheese the other day but had absolutely no idea …

Balsamic Drizzled Mixed Greens Grilled Cheese
Finally, I have returned with a new grilledshane original creation. Sure, I flirted with a sandwich that highlighted an awesome local cheese, but it has been forever since I actually created a new grilledshane original. It was time. It was definitely time. I haven’t truly made …

Kokoborrego Cheese’s Headwaters Tomme
I am sorry, Internets. I am sorry that I bought this delicious cheese, Kokoborrego Cheese Company’s Headwaters Tomme, and made a grilled cheese sandwich weeks ago but am just now writing about it. Life seems to have delayed this post, as well as my laziness, and for …

GrilledShane’s Big Announcement
Back on December 12, as I was pulling into work, I received an email with the subject of “Interest in a grilled cheese book?”. At first, I didn’t know what to think. However, once I actually read the email, my mouth hit the floor. A publishing company was seriously interested in me being the author of a grilled cheese cookbook “with attitude” titled MELT. I eventually submitted a proposal and on February 6, I was selected.
Since then, I have been brainstorming, creating, cooking and photographing 95 grilled cheese sandwiches. (80 new recipes, 15 from the blog; 35 recipes will be accompanied by photographs; 5 additional meat grilled cheese recipes are being created by an outside source.) I submitted the manuscript on March 12 and have recently been working on perfecting the photos. The edited manuscript should be returned to me by the end of this week or early next week so I can make the requested changes. From there it will be sent to the design team and then released in bookstores and online in November, 2012. Once I have more concrete release details, such as pre-ordering opportunities, I will make sure to post them here.
I really appreciate that all of you have been very supportive of my grilled cheese hobby. That support has led me to this point and I am forever grateful for all of you. Thank you so much!
Please continue to keep your eyes peeled here, Facebook and Twitter for more information.
Long live the grilled cheese,

A Different Kind of Hiatus
Way back in September, 2010, I took a hiatus. I took a break from the grilled cheese world. I needed to recharge my grilled cheese batteries. It definitely helped and I returned better than ever. But here I am taking another hiatus. A different kind …

Introducing the Grilled Cheese Directory
Happy new year to all the grilled cheese loves out there. Hope you had a great and safe holiday and were able to spend it with family and friends. With a new year, comes new endeavors. If you are a follower of mine on Facebook or Twitter, you might have already heard about this new creation, but I am thinking most have not.
The grilled cheese world is growing exponentially each and everyday with new restaurants and trucks opening faster than one can say ‘yum.’ How is a fellow grilled cheese lover supposed to know if a new grilled cheese restaurant or truck has opened in their area?
That is where the Grilled Cheese Directory comes in. Now, grilled cheese aficionados are able to search for all the grilled cheese restaurant and trucks in their area and the United States.
Whether you own a grilled cheese restaurant/truck, or if you are searching for one, this directory is for you. You can submit your listing for free at anytime (simply register first), or search for a restaurant in your area at your convenience. It is a win-win for everyone.
The success of this directory depends on you and everyone who loves grilled cheese sandwiches. Please, contact directory@grilledshane.com with any questions, comments or concerns. I would love to hear constructive comments.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Bread Grilled Cheese
