Catalunya

The Spaniards have a version of grilled cheese sandwiches called bikinis. Cute name aside, it's all about crunchy toasted white bread with cured Iberico ham, cheese and truffle at this bayside Spanish restaurant.

Draft & Craft

Circular Road has a new craft beer and grilled cheese bar. Aside from the stellar taps and bottles of beer from places like Anderson Valley and Stone Brewery, the place dishes out reinvented plates of grilled cheese that are inspired by different countries. There are options like The French with brie and figs; The Mexican with guacamole, chorizo and cotija; and the classic American with bacon and cheddar.

Southbridge
