Starbucks’ Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

My typical Christmas Day has been to sit around in some mall, bored as hell, while waiting in some mall.  I know.  It’s sad.

But I figured, it’s the best way to start with a ton of backlog and I ended up in Starbucks — the one place I never thought I’d hang out.  I don’t drink coffee, it’s expensive as hell, and it’s grossly overpriced.  A recent discovery, however, made my visit a whole lot more pleasant and a lot more productive.

A few months ago, I was able to try Starbucks’ Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich.  I had enjoyed grilled cheese sandwiches before and seemed like a no-brainer given the selection of overpriced pastries and even more overpriced drinks to use the free couches and free WiFi.  The Ultimate Grilled Cheese features 6 (count them 6) cheeses – Feta, Gruyere, Emmenthal, Provolone, Mozzarella, and Cheddar.  But I was actually quite surprised when I tasted sausages, which were definitely a bonus.

I loved this.  Vegetarians might not like the fact that sausages are present in an otherwise non-meat sandwich (plus the no mention of meat), but they’re vegetarians — they don’t count.  I think this is probably one of the few items that I’d pay for in Starbucks.  And that’s saying something.
