Where to Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day in Boston
It’s April 12th, and you all know what that means… it’s National Grilled Cheese Day! Grilled cheese is one of America’s most classic comfort foods, and we want to help you celebrate accordingly. We’ve collected our favorite spots in Boston to grab yourself a grilled cheese today. Just be sure you don’t forget the tomato soup.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop
Potbelly is known for their hearty sandwiches on fresh baked bread, and their grilled cheese is no exception. The best part? In addition to the generous portion of cheese in between two warm slices of bread of your choice, you’re able to pick the type of cheese you’d like, and choose from a variety of add-ons such as meats, vegetables, and even sauces. Add a cup of their classic tomato soup to your order, and you’ll have the perfect grilled cheese lunch.
Roxy’s Grilled Cheese
Roxy’s is a Boston-local restaurant group that gained attention for their creative grilled cheese sandwiches when they began as a food truck in 2010. Since then, they have established several brick and mortar locations around Boston, and have added several different items to their menu, such as burgers, fries, salads, and even a vegan grilled cheese sandwich in some locations. While you’ll definitely find Roxy’s at most of your favorite major Boston festivals and events, be sure to seek them out on National Grilled Cheese Day for a Green Muenster (guacamole, anyone?) or a Mighty Rib Melt.
Grass Roots Cafe
Swing by 101 Arch St. in Downtown, Boston this afternoon if you’re in search of a grilled cheese on-the-go. While it’s tiny in size, and only open on weekdays, Grass Roots Cafe is the perfect lunchtime stop for a mean grilled cheese sandwich. Their specialty is the Gouda Grilled Cheese which comes with tomato and black forest ham (or crispy bacon!) Grass Roots also serves up a few different BLTs (also with cheese), and a vegetarian grilled cheese for the herbivore in your group. Bon appétit!
