Nobody doesn't like grilled cheese — but how about a grilled cheese martini?

Nobody doesn't like grilled cheese — but how about a grilled cheese martini? Between the Bread investigates.

I love sandwiches and cocktails — often together. But I've never eaten a grilled cheese and thought, "you know what would be good with this? A martini." Apparently, that comfort food and booze combo makes sense at Beecher's.

The Seattle cheese emporium, which recently opened in NYC, has an off-menu item called the grilled cheese martini, which is exactly what it sounds like: grilled cheese sandwich-infused vodka, shaken with fresh tomatoes, muddled basil, and tomato juice.

Now here's the really terrifying part: Beecher's isn't the first to mix up a grilled cheese martini. Clive's in Victoria, BC, makes one with grilled cheese rum.  

Would you dare order one?

There are also restaurants that have entire grilled cheese menus! Last night I went to San Francisco's first grilled cheese eatery, The America Grilled Cheese Kitchen, for a demonstration hosted by Tillamook cheese.

The event was a promotion of the Loaf Love Tour, a bus that is traveling the country "bringing tasty cheese to the people." After sampling some of the restaurant's most sought-after creations, chef Heidi Gibson taught the small crowd how to make a grilled macaroni and cheese sandwich.
