Melt Down Grilled Cheese, Wayne

If ever there were a hall of fame for comfort food, the grilled cheese sandwich would receive an automatic induction. Same goes for ice cream. At Melt Down Grilled Cheese, you'll find both treats, but cranked up a notch. Here, chefs upgrade the classic grilled cheese with gourmet Wisconsin cheeses, artisan breads, fresh veggies, and real butter. They assemble standard sandwiches and more complex ones, such as the baja chicken, which features corn-tortilla-encrusted bread, shredded chicken, avocado, cilantro, and monterrey jack cheese. Instead of diving into an intense game of lawn darts right at your table, you can keep the nostalgia parade moving with a hand-dipped milkshake or a grilled ice-cream sandwich—a helping of ice cream between two slices of warm pound cake.
