    Hey there,

    Been craving some good grilled cheese. Best places in town for it in your opinion?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    I prefer to make mine on a comal with two slices of cheese and butter on the outside of both breads.

    Cheesies in Chicago is delicious! I know, you are looking for a Houston recommendation but I haven't found anything good here. Melt in Cypress was trying but it was not very good and now it is closed. Houston really needs a good grilled cheese joint.

    I went to McAlister's for lunch. Their grilled cheese wasn't that great.

    Tom & Chee if you're ever evacuating to Katy.

    Separately, Dallas Grilled Cheese Co is pretty good.

    I make a pesto and tomato grilled cheese from time to time that I love.

    YouTube has about a million different pro chef videos on grilled cheese and they are worth watching for ideas.

    I think I discovered the most evolved and final form of the grilled sandwich, the Croque Madame by following the rabbit's hole of grilled cheese sandwiches on YouTube.

    I ate at that Tom and Chee once right after it opened. Just once. It was not very good imho.

    What's the difference between a croque monsieur and a croque madame?

    Madame has a runny egg on top, because the bechamel and extra layer of melted cheese is a half measure.

    et le monsieur?

    eta: there's a little bakery in Llano, on Highway 16 around the bridge, that makes the best croissant/ham/swiss melty sammich you've ever had. Bonus, you buy something and a cup of coffee and they give you a fresh, warm glazed donut. I learned a couple of weeks ago that they are closed on Mondays, I spent the whole drive from Marble Falls on my way to San Saba getting ready for that bakery, only to be denied.

    Bottom to top ->

    Bread, dijon, cheese (usually comte or gruyere) ham (preferably a thick slab of uncured ham), bread. Grill it in a pat of butter. Top with bechamel and then shredded cheese, melt the cheese under a broiler to form a skin to hold in the bechemel
