#19 of 48: Grilled Cheese at Elliott Bay Cafe

We were a tad bummed when the Elliott Bay Bookstore relocated to Capitol Hill this summer. Fortunately, the basement cafe multiplied, staying behind in Pioneer Square and opening in the new location, as well. We've always been fans of the Elliott Bay Cafe. We've met favorite authors during readings there and have indulged in many a sweet treat and fine beverage there, too.

Because of this history with the cafe, we were enthusiastic about trying their unique grilled cheese sandwich. The grilled cheese is packed with Mama Lil's Peppers and a blend of three cheeses, including a powerful goat cheese, packaged between slices of perfectly grilled, soft Macrina bread. Unfortunately, these two particular items simply overwhelmed the sandwich. The mixture of cheeses and the unexpected peppers sure make for an interesting sandwich, but better execution is an absolute must.
