it looks like an IRL simpson had a bad burn and it healed over. AKA delicious.

that's the ingredients for chicago and italian style

edit: basically chicago style is a condiment rather than a side dish kinda thing.

greetings from the basement

those are cool ranch doritos. though you are technically right you're still wrong.

i was making a joke about the battery being low. everything is working fine here. just got carbon monoxide detectors a couple of weeks ago also.

this is all i got

no charcoal. just screaming ass hot pan and diverted attention.

those are cool ranch doritos

that is a power puff girls plate

get your 25yr old kids cartoons straight, loser.

southside chicago. lots of irish and the irish attract bostonians. i think i picked it up as a kid.

it's like a chicago rare steak. charred on the outside and warm inside. people swear by it.

you'll be kicking yourself when hipsters are lining up for these and posting blogs about their recipes and free range wheat bread.

yeah, sometimes i'll fry the meat first, especially with salami, and then proceed as normal.

my usually technique is to start with a cold pan and cover. when the pan side is done everything else is warmed through and then i add the top bread and flip til that's done. usually works out but this time...was this time.

still tasty though.

*well done

we're trying to sell this shit.

i knew what i was getting into when i posted this.

the other side is was the same. i typically start with a cold pan but i let it go too long cuz i was distracted. when i did the flip the pan was wicked hot and just char fucked it on that side too. not the first time and won't be the last.

yeah, well its not even american. the practice started in switzerland prior to WWII and americans adopted it.

well, i got a 3 day ban from the grilled cheese sub for posting a salami grilled cheese w/ chicago style giardiniera. a mod commented "you have 20min to tell me why this is a grilled cheese and not a melt" and i responded "your mom's a grilled cheese" and the post was removed. so, your correction is wrong.

american cheese from the deli is a very different animal than the kraft singles in the plastic sleeves.

its basically just unaged cheddar.

it started beeping on its own last week and has since stopped. i'm assuming it was doing a test run and it's all good.

didn't even set off the smoke detector.

it's not burnt, it stayed in a volatile relationship with the pan for a little too long. even broken things need love.

i'll put you inside the sammich for extra crunch

all good, and i have tried mayo. that's when i realized why i preferred homemade grilled cheese to diner grilled cheese.
