Saganaki is a badass Greek cheese dish, served aflame straight to your table and accompanied with fresh out the oven pita bread. For the committed cheese enthusiast, maximize your palate with a feta-covered Greek salad or side of spanakopita.

2. Siné Irish Pub and Restaurant: Beer Cheese and Pretzels

These are no laughable bar pretzels. Indeed, Siné’s cheddar dip is housemade with Smithwick’s Ale, creating a hoppy undertone. Served with soft and chewy baked pretzels, this appetizer is truly a match made in heaven.

Amongst other greats like the decadent Rainbow Cookie and fluffy Whitehouse Roll, Ukrop’s prepared mac-n-cheese may very well be the only reason one would set foot into a Martin’s. And with the recent selling, you may need to stock up your fridge and freezer before these bad boys can only be found on eBay.

4. City Dogs: Cincinnatti Dog

Sweet City Dogs, how you are so often overlooked before the hour of 1AM. After a big night out, any cheese lover’s dream would be a chili and shredded cheese covered hot dog. Bonus points for a side order of cheese fries as well!

5. Pasture: Pimento Cheese and Ritz

Introducing Pasture’s pimento into your life can be dangerous as no other cheese may measure up. The classic combo with Ritz is a menu staple, but the pimento is also featured in rotating lunch and dinner specials.

6. Bottoms Up Pizza: Bread Tracks

These bread tracks seem like a simple appetizer, but the unassuming white sauce’s combination of parmesan, olive oil, basil, pine nuts, and minced garlic atop Bottoms Up’s famous crust will instantly make you a lifelong fan.

7. Can Can Brasserie: Onion Soup Gratinée

The French Onion Soup at Can Can is sincerely delicious… but we know you came for the gratinée.

8. The Cask Cafe: Cheese Plate

Cambozola, Danish blue, smoked gouda, Welsh cheddar, goat brie… the Cask Cafe is truly a dairy haven. Their plates can also be combined with various sausages and sides, but is that really necessary?

At a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant, ordering a cheesy delight is truly a toss up. Try the Bountygate – smoke ham, fontina and giardiniera, Hanover tomatoes, and a fried egg – or the Chesapeake – crab dip, spinach, and sharp cheddar – or the Mac and Me – house made mac and cheese with smoked pork barbecue – or take it easy and just order the entire menu.
