National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day is Friday. Here's where to get some good ones
For some people, National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, which is celebrated annually on April 12, is the perfect day to enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich. For others, any day is perfect for celebrating the hot gooey goodness of a grilled cheese sandwich.
Whether you prefer a fancy cheese offering melted between two buttery pieces of hot artisan bread or you favor a simple slice or two American cheese melted between two pieces of plain white bread, it is hard to resist a good grilled cheese sandwich, especially when it is served with a soup on the side.
Friday is your chance to experiment with making your own perfect grilled cheese sandwich or to try one served up by some Jackson-area restaurants. Even though none of the restaurants we talked to plan to offer any specials in honor National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, they do have a variety of grilled cheese sandwich options on their menus.
