Cheeseboy - Boston, MA

I traveled to Boston recently to participate in the Harvard Model Congress conference with my school delegation. During the conference, my roommates and I explored the Prudential Center where we found Cheeseboy, a small eatery known for its grilled cheese sandwiches.

True to its name, Cheeseboy serves up fresh grilled cheese sandwiches such as the Chipolte Chicken and Roast Chief along with soups, mac and cheese and breakfast sandwiches. 

They're known for quick service, affordable prices and natural ingredients that includes breads made without the use of any artificial preservatives, flavorings or dough conditioners. 

I ordered the Turkey Clubhouse - all-natural turkey, thick-cut hickory bacon, muenster cheese, and dill pickles on all-natural artisan white bread. It was a healthy portion of turkey, savory bacon, velvety  cheese, and succulent dills. 

Service was super-quick and friendly and you basically watch the employees prepare your sandwich right in front of you!


Cheeseboy is so popular it has already expanded to locations in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

 Check out their story in the video below.

Grilled Cheese and Co. - Catonsville, Maryland.

Who doesn't like a grilled Cheese sandwich, right? That's why we decided to try Grilled Cheese & Co. in Catonsville with our family.











The cool thing about the restaurant is that when you walk in, the menu is prominently painted on the wall.

The restaurant's interior consists of about nine small tables and a counter to place your orders. Although the inside of the restaurant is small, don't let it fool you.  Great things come out of the kitchen.

The ordering counter

Cream of tomato basil soup  

While there were soup and salad options, the majority of our family ordered the Grill Cheese and Co.  namesake that comes in more than 10 varieties including the Crabby Melt (the most popular), Smashed Meatballs, Blue Ox and Sweetest Thing.

However, my grandfather ordered a cup of the home-made cream of tomato basil soup as an appetizer. The soup was presented with a mountain of parmesan cheese and crouton toppings which made an excellent presentation. My grandfather liked the soup, especially the heavy hint of basil.

We ordered a variety of sandwiches, each one was a large portion and grilled to a light brown crisp.  

Veggie Delight 

The Fresco

My grandmother enjoyed the Fresco -  fresh mozzarella, provolone cheese, fire roasted red peppers, basil pesto & finished with balsamic glaze.

Kick'n BBQ Chicken 

White and sweet potato shoestring fries were 
terrific 

I'm a big fan of BBQ, so I tried the Kick'n BBQ
 chicken grilled cheese.  I didn't disappoint. All the
gooey goodness of the pepper jack cheese,
diced onions and sweet BBQ sauce. It was
Kick'n ...good.

Cordon Blue Swiss 

The veggie delight sandwich has havarti cheese with a medley of roasted veggies, olive tapenade finished with a rosemary black pepper aioli grilled up on harvest whole grain bread.

My mom said it was packed with flavor. She loved the way the  roasted veggies infused with the black pepper aioli.

Charles and my grandfather ordered the Cordon Bleu Swiss, smoked ham, swiss cheese & grilled chicken finished with dijon mustard sauce. This too was a clever combination that sent their taste buds on a one-way train to pleasure town. 

Grilled Cheese and Co. has three other locations - Federal Hill, Eldersburg, and Waugh Chapel. The parking lot in the Catonsville location mirrors the size of the restaurant, and it was hard for Charles, a new driver, to maneuver into a parking spot.

We'd definitely go back and try a few more grilled cheese sandwiches, especially their popular Crabby Melt.
