  2. This was just discourse in America not too long ago. The question was: Is a Grilled Cheese a Black food or a White food? The answer is interesting. “Grilled Cheese” itself is ubiquitous, everyone knows and loves a grilled cheese sammy. However, it was deemed a Grilled Cheese sandwich with tomato soup is almost an exclusively White food. Interesting results! But tasty all the same 😂😂😂

  5. Looks good and all but I bet that grilled cheese would be better with American cheese.

  6. Ok.. So you just upped the quality of your content man. Who told you to shoot in 24 frames per second? Cause that person needs a raise. I love the cinematic touch, and the colours in this video is just fucking great.

    Please continue this! (To all the other youtube chefs out there: Stop with the 60 fps shit!)

  7. Grodon Ramsey is very disappointed in how melted your cheese is. Its supposed to be cold and solid as god intended.

  8. Tart it up all you want (looks delicious),

    But everyone knows that white Wonder bread and Kraft singles make the best grilled cheese sandwiches, and you serve them with Campbell's tomato soup from a can.

  9. @Andy_cooks hope everyone is OK after that storm you just got. Stay safe👍
