Grilled Cheese Sandwiches at The Boss

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 01/11/2004 - 16:43

Our friend Lisa loves the grilled cheese sandwiches at The Boss in Chinatown: "salty, squishy, crispy, gooey".

We tried them again yesterday and for $3.25 they certainly are all that and more. A great mouth feel. First you get the crispy bit of the top layer of the bread which is toasted to perfection, then the crunch, then the remaining layers of the bread which are soft and finally the melted cheese. Somehow they manage to toast the bread perfectly and melt the cheese without burning the bread.

It's a bit funny to find one of the city's best grilled cheese sandwiches at a Chinese cafe but we'll take it wherever we can get it!

Yes, the grilled cheese sandwiches are what childhood memories are made of! My mum says the french toast at the Boss is great too...thick and eggy.

Roland, Let me know when you do...I am minutes away from there...be nice to catch up:) Pocions also has some interesting polish cuisine. One of the owners is Polish and she makes the desserts (the pear cake is heavenly) and they always have interesting specials. Its a bit off the beaten path, but the food is good home cooking and the prices are great.

Hey Roland! We miss you at tap:( Anyhow...for a good non-traditional grilled cheese sandwich, might I recommend Pocions cafe on South East Marine Drive just past Elliot. This 2 cheese sandwich is grilled on homemade bread that has been dusted with olive oil, crushed garlic and parsley before grilling. Yum! I am off to the Boss... Cheers Erin
