Alright, I'm making it an official goal. I will compete in at least one tournament in the 2013 World Series of Poker. I figure I can save up enough by then to be in one of the 1500 dollar tournaments. Probably Omaha Hi or HORSE.

Awesome. If I didn't have family obligations, I'd definitely do this. Playing against guys at a casino near me (admittedly of far less talent than pros), I've never come away without making a profit.

I feel like I don't even need to press play.

I do not find the selling or buying of grilled cheese particularly appealing personally. I was very hungry at Osheaga (musicfest) so I got in the shortest line for food, which I soon found out was of course the grilled cheese line. Ended up spending 8 dollars for two grilled cheeses. Neither was very good. I simply don't like buying food with incredibly cheap ingredients which I could easily make for myself at home. That's why when I go to a restaurant I'll tend to buy something with meat in it or something that's relatively difficult to prepare.

A grilled brie cheese sandwich with spicy pork (what I would order should I ever come across this truck) does not seem to me to qualify with your statement above. I suggest reading the online menu for the truck. It's not as if the man is taking two slices of Blue Ribbon and a slice of Kraft American cheese, spraying it with some Pam and frying it. I suppose he could if you wanted, but there's a lot more to this truck.

Also, a local brewery/restaurant here serves a grilled cheese with prosciutto, three kinds of cheeses, tomato, lettuce, basil... so frakkin' good.

I believe you are shortchanging the possibilities of the grilled cheese sandwich.

I just found the notorious and elusive "Grilled Cheese Truck" that roams the street of LA. Nabbed me a brie grilled cheese and some tater tots. Like Pink's, it's not really worth the hour wait, but it's another nonsensical unhealthy city food mecca to check of my list. Haven't even made it to the second half of the grilled cheese and I already feel like I've gained ten pounds...dipping the tots in cheese was probably an unnecessary luxury.

We have a grilled cheese delivery man in the East Village.

As for L.A. landmark eateries with long lines, however, I was in love with the French Dip/Roast Beef au jus at Phillipe's. It's right behind our Katz's Deli as a touristy locale whose crowd does not bother me because it's that delicious and unique.

If it's some gourmet grilled cheese sandwich at a reasonable price that's a different story, but the musicfest grilled cheese I had was precisely what you just described, hence my disdain for the grilled cheese sandwich industry. That better be some damn good spicy pork though because I could certainly easily make a grilled cheese brie sandwich at home.

But my statement as a general going out to eat philosophy still stands. For example I won't go out to eat and order a garden salad. If I get a salad it better be very well made preferably with some fancy ingredients that necessitate it's cost.

Woo hoo! Got the apartment in Greenwood. Stoked. Within stumbling distance of Naked City Brewpub and Taphouse. Went there the other night, and it was delicious. Had three beers: the Naked City Peach and Ginger hef (a little too light, but pretty good), the Naked City tripel (very tasty), and an amazing hef from Victory Brewery in Pennsylvania (Sunrise Weissbier http://victorybeer.com/beers/sunrise-weissbier/).

I'll definitely be going there - a lot.

Brie + pear + grilled chicken + caramelized onions + lettuce = now you have a decent sandwich.

Once you put meat on a grilled cheese sandwich, doesn't it cease to be a grilled cheese sandwich? That appears to be a grilled sausage and bacon sandwich.

Yeah, I think it just becomes a grilled sandwich. Even adding slices of tomato is kind of cheating.

[Raiders]

I would say the distinction lies in the dominance of the cheese over other ingredients. In the earlier sandwich I mentioned, there is more cheese than (or at least as much cheese as) the entirety of the other ingredients (prosciutto, lettuce, tomato). A regular grilled sandwich is going to use cheese as a compliment to the remaining meats and veggies whereas a grilled cheese sandwich will showcase the cheese and add the other stuff to deepen the flavor.

I would agree the monstrosity a few posts up is not really a grilled cheese sandwich.

Facebook is recommending that I like Jesus Christ. Is this one of those 'signs' that Christians talk about? I would hate to be eternally damned because I didn't make a mouse click.

I'm searching the Bible for references to mouse clicks... hey, mice aren't kosher! Good to know.

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches when I'm drunk. I've never really had a gourmet one, I'd try it.

I like to get sandwiches with goat cheese and vegetables though, make my life so much better.

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind.

"Creeping things that creep upon the earth" is redundant. You want a colon instead of a semicolon. Why are you using the future tense? The present tense reads more easily. You have at least one too many 'and's. If the creeping things are "unclean" unto one person, aren't they unclean everywhere? Strike out "unto you." "After his kind" is wordy and adds nothing to your idea.

Please see me after class.
