“Cheesy Rider” by Jonathan Mccarthy

Submitted to Contest #162

“Armand, I make the BEST grilled cheese sandwich that you will ever eat” said Vince as he sipped his coffee. “How do you know it’s the best?” Armand looked skeptical, “It’s just bread and cheese, right?” “Yes”. “Anything else?” “Well butter. But I use good cheese and I like to use French bread from the bakery”. “So that’s the big secret, good bread, good cheese and butter? Anyone could make that. My cat could probably make that if I put the ingredients in a panini maker he could press the lever and voila, the greatest grilled cheese ever”....

“Happy Birthday Roger” by Hope Haggerty

Submitted to Contest #162

"Happy Birthday Roger!" Maybell said gleefully, as she spread out the white blanket, over the soft green grass; a perfect makeshift tablecloth. She knelt down at one corner of the fabric and began to unpack her picnic basket. Today she had used the “special one” she had found at the Bucks Five and Dime store. As a new wife, she could always find whatever she needed there for an affordable price of course."I hope you still like egg salad" she said with a bright smile."I know grilled cheese is your favorite, but no one mak...

Submitted to Contest #162

“Over the years, I have perfected my gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. Not too extravagant, yet not too simple either. I believe I have come up with the best recipe in the world, definitely restaurant worthy,” Erin bragged to her best friend Alicia. Light raindrops gently tapped the top of the tin roof on the screened in back porch on a cozy, cloudy morning in late August. A cold front had moved in and cooled the air from the blazing heat of the summer. Two stay-at-home moms, inseparable since high school, wer...

“Tomorrow ” by Chanel Terese

Submitted to Contest #162

‘It’s about the amount of butter on the crust’ he gawked at me taunting a response. I hadn’t thought about the amount of butter I had used and in fact I had been distracted, how many times did I butter the crust? My lips parted, exhaling through the words ‘I’m sorry.’ He stood before me, my hands gripping the edge of the chair below as he tossed a napkin onto his plate, ‘It’s a simple grilled cheese, I don’t understand how you can fuck it up this badly.’ I stared ahead refusing to meet his eyes as he placed a hand on the side of my face, the...

“Grilled Chees and Sat Navs ” by Gill James

Submitted to Contest #162

Grilled Cheese and SatNavs "Well, I have been told I make the best cheese on toast in the world." "What, better than a croque-monsieur from Patisserie Valerie?" "Oh, much better. Especially since they don't exist anymore." Ginnie shrugged. "If you say so. Go on." She'd popped round to admire my new flat and have a bite to eat before we set off for a concert we were singing in with our choir. I'd decided to offer her my speciality. "Right then. Be prepared to be amazed." So I grated the cheese, mixed it with the soured cream, add...

“The Better Grilled Cheese” by Lena VanderMeer

Submitted to Contest #162

“You make the best grilled cheese in the world?” I asked, skeptical it was a joke. He looked me dead in the eye and said, “Oh Yeah,” ~2 hours earlier that day~ Swiping, swiping, swiping the warm phone ...
