Among the comfort foods, there is one that is truly a comfort—the Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
At its simplest, you put a slice of cheese between two pieces of bread, and…Flame On! If you want elaborate…Have I got a Food Search for you! I went to Sanger, Fresno, and Clovis to find GCSes for every craving.

That's Texas Toast on that Grilled Cheese from Foster's.

Sloppy Chz—$3.99
Grilled Apple Chz—$5.79

Combo (Sandwich + soft drink + soup, Mac n’ Chz, or Fries—add $3

That's Real Cheese in Grilled Chz's Mac 'n'Chz.
The Sloppy Chz features American Chz, Sloppy Joes, and Crispy Potato Sticks on White Bread. It’s like a cleaner, less-mobile Sloppy Joe, meaty with a crunch of potato.
The Grilled Apple Chz starts with Havarti, adding Grilled Apples, Bacon, Mayo, and Dijon Mustard on Whole Wheat. It’s mild, with a zing from the apple and mustard. You can’t tell there’s bacon in it until the first big bite—Then, you know it’s there.
The Double Cream Brie Delight combines Brie, Fig Paste, and Almonds with Smoked Turkey or Bacon on White Bread. Ooh, so creamy and smooth, plus the apples and turkey (I wasn’t ready for their bacon).
The combo options were interesting. The Tomato soup had a deep, tomato-ey flavor, was hot, and was great for dipping the sandwich. The Mac n’ Chz—it’s real cheese, man, and don’t you forget it! The fries are Plain Jane fries, but the size is of note; you might be tempted to start an impromptu game of Jenga with these things.
(By the way, there’s another Grilled Chz location at 2088 W. Shaw Ave. # 103 in Fresno.)

You should smell the tomato soup, perfect for dipping a sandwich at Grilled Chz.
I’ll admit that Grilled Chz is my favorite, but if I see the Benaddiction truck, I’m likely to stop. Foster’s is good for grab-and-go, and a late-night craving could send me to the nearest Denny’s.
It’s all good, people.
