If you’re an extreme grilled cheese connoisseur in the Midwest, don’t overlook Meltz Extreme Grilled Cheese. Particularly earthy and bold is the Matty Melt, featuring blue and fontina cheeses, smoked roast beef, grilled onions, horseradish, and huckleberry barbecue sauce. Before you rush out the door, you might want to grab a friend — portions are decievably filling.

These are behemoths—a half-sandwich is plenty, and comes with homemade potato chips. (I believe the whole can feed a family of four.) If you want a little more, but not a full sandwich, there’s a half-sandwich and soup combo for $6.75. You get your choice of a custom sandwich plus a cup of the soup of the day or, surprize surprise, Meltz’s Extreme Tomato Soup.
