A couple weeks ago I requested that people email and let me know which restaurants serve the best grilled cheese sandwiches. What local eatery serves a grilled cheese that they could eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What I was expecting was fans of restaurants to write me singing the praises of a local restaurant. Instead, I received an email from someone who is in the process of opening a brand new grilled cheese restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.

Mr. Eric Powell, owner of Meltworks, wrote notifying me of his soon to be opened restaurant. As you will read below, in Mr. Powell’s own words, Meltworks will feature a menu that will promote creativity and individuality.

When I started the I Love Grilled Cheese feature, I thought there would be tons of people to interview, and tons of restuarants doing amazing things with the simple but awesome grilled cheese sandwich. Well, I still think that, I just can’t find them. Googling “grilled cheese restaurant” really yields no usable results. I find that two grilled cheeese restaurants, one in CA and one in NY, have gone out of business. I find CHEDD’s, which I have already interviewed. Melt, check. However, in those results, I don’t see a restaurant that is serving a new grilled cheese sandwich each and everyday, or, a restaurant that is serving a $15 or $30 grilled cheese. I find nothing unique and that is exactly what I want for I Love Grilled Cheese. Read the rest of this entry »
