Trips to Cincinnati are always jam packed. We have to figure out what yummy places we want to eat, and this time I really wanted to hit up a grilled cheese tour stop that I have dearly missed since I left Cincinnati. Tom + Chee is a restaurant that is now expanding into Louisville also, and they serve delicious grilled cheeses and tomato soup. We decided to try some of the different and signature items they have on the menu - a grilled cheese with Cincinnati local potato chip Grippo's inside and a grilled cheese donut! Yes - a donut cut in half with cheddar cheese in the middle.
I'm sure you are wondering if the whole grilled cheese donut thing is just a gimmick and is actually disgusting. It's not - the idea of grilling a donut is downright brilliant, but I will say, if I got it again, I would go for the sweet types they have with mascapone cheese and fruit. You just couldn't taste the cheddar much - the gooey cheese texture was yummy, but the sweet glaze overpowered the cheddar. And the BBQ chip one? Well, let's say we stopped and got some chips to try and copy this. You can read the rest of the review on Yelp, here. Also - should I do grilled cheese recipes guys? To see more about the grilled cheese tour and where else we have been, visit this page.
Main reason we went into town was to meet with my parents after some recent birthdays and also to go to my friend Becki's engagement party. You may remember Becki and her fiancee Jeremiah from this post. Well, Becki asked me to be her matron of honor (yup...I'm a matron...weird right?), and I am so excited. I had to make the trip in to celebrate and see her dress on her before she bought it! It's beautiful - but that's all I am saying! Instead, you can have a photo of me and Jason being awkward while waiting to see her dress.

Indeed - I eat like 1 donut a year, so I actually ate like 1/2 or maybe 3/4 before all the sweetness overwhelmed me! Still, it was surprisingly good!
DeleteThis looks positively delicious!! I would never ever think a grilled cheese donuts would work, but I'll take your word for it :) That chip grilled cheese sandwich sounds interesting too- i sometimes sneak lays chips into my sandwiches so I'd be down to try those. And you look so pretty- you always have the best heels! And love the look of teal with burgundy.
ReplyDeleteYour bag & your shoes are soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd the grilled cheese donut sounds yummy!
I literally just sent your post immediately to my boyfriend so we could salivate together. Both the chips and donuts grilled cheese sound amazing!!! On to the outfit... those blue shoes are amazingly beautiful! The shape and color are so pretty with the cream and maroon, the last picture is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit so much...and that food...you're killing me. I am now starving. :)
ReplyDeleteThis grilled cheese donut sandwich all at once sounds delicious and horrible, I am conflicted about what to think! Haha, one of those very strange combinations that ends up being good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very fun day and a fun trip, that's sweet that you'll be her "matron" of honour.
I love this sweater paired with this dress, such a perfect colour combination that I will have to try out in the future

Grilled cheese donut sounds like one of those things you only need to try once in your life, like deep fried mars bar - which is delectable, but I don't need to experience it ever again!

ReplyDeleteLove your pops of teal! And isn't it a crazy feeling going to engagement parties and being part of the wedding party? I feel like I'm at the point in my life where I'm just a clock, waiting for the wedding boom between my group of friends to start!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,

Ok, best color combo! I am quite smitten with those shoes especially :) And can I just say you had me at grilled cheese donuts! I can definitely see where it might be too much of a good thing and actually be a strange combo, but I'd definitely give it a try once :)
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet about being asked to be the matron of honor. Gotta love being a matron, right? I felt so mature and older than the rest of the bridal party at my sister's wedding because of this...hehe.

There is nothing better than grilled cheese!! These sandwiches look so so good.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your husband about us looking alike with similar style! I LOVE your blog. Your outfits are always so so cute. I would wear everything (But the heels! Clumsy!). We should definitely collaborate on something. Perhaps an outfit post where we both style the same piece. Something! Also, I am going to school for graphic design and that is what you do too, right?
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures, honey :*
