Lil Cheezers, Louisville

At their most basic, grilled cheese sandwiches only require two ingredients: cheese and bread. But just sticking to the basics doesn't satisfy the grilled cheese makers at Lil Cheezers, whom LEO Weekly praised as "masters of the art." Using local produce and wheat-berry, sourdough, or vegan bread, they craft 10 specialty versions of the sandwich, including the Fancy Pants, a blend of creamy brie, granny smith apples, and walnuts. Besides sandwiches, the culinary team whips up snacks such as fries with housemade curried ketchup that LEO Weekly insists "should make Heinz hang its head in shame." The gourmet grilled cheeses are not only available at Lil Cheezers' restaurant, but also through its multiple food trucks.
