GRILLED CHEESE
However, even before our food arrived, Baker wasn't pleased.
"It's $5.88 for a grilled cheese sandwich," he said.
"You're paying through the nose for cheese."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The sandwich arrived accompanied by ripple potato chips and real silverware.
The reactions were mixed.
Kuhn and I both thought the mix of cheeses were tasty, but Shaffer thought there was too much cheese. Baker was still too stuck on how much the sandwich cost to enjoy it.
"It's just cheese. Why is it over $5?" he said.
It's just cheese. Why is it over载 us? In fact, after some deliberation, we all decided that $5.88 was too much to pay for a grilled cheese sandwich and chips.
Even if it was called a Panini
Even if it was called a Pantier.
General Consensus: Overpriced, but tasty.
Brown Bear Brewery; Heckled by Barflies
"You're doing a story about grilled cheese sandwiches? Surely you've got something better to write about." one of them said. "Come down here and I'll give you a better story idea."
The atmosphere at the Brown Bear was by far our favorite and just like Cheers, down to the bar flies who heckled us for about 10 minutes when we arrived.
After listening to an old farmer pitch a story about the Lawrence Technical College, we turned our attention to Seth Roberts, Brown Bear bartender.
"We sell a fair amount of grilled cheese sandwiches," Roberts said. "Mostly to sorority girls and small children."
The Brown Bear grilled cheese was $4.28. It came served with tomatoes, lettuce and a big pile of waffle fries.
The testers all agreed this sandwich was fantastic.
The esters an agreed this sand a left was handicap "This one is great," Shaffer said. "It's not as fancy as the Java Break sandwich, but it's crusty and good."
"Plus the price is way better," Kuhn said.
The rest of our time at the Brown Bear was spent chatting with Roberts and bemoaning our under-21 status.
"All that's missing from this meal is a beer." Baker said.
Unfortunately, Roberts assured us that the Brown Bear strictly adheres to Kansas liquor laws.
We need to insure that
General Consensus: Oh, so good.
Quinton's: The End of the Road
While we waited for our Quinton's grilled cheese, our waitress, Bridget Morrisey, Ottawa junior, gave us her thoughts on grilled cheese sandwiches.
"I love the grilled cheese from Einstein Brothers," she said. "Seriously, I crave it."
She didn't have as many good things to say about Quinton's grilled cheese.
"I get mad when people order it because there's so many other more exciting things to order here," she said.
We were worried after that, but the sandwich
AARON LERNER/KANSAN
Jason Kirk, Lawrence junior, works the grill at the Brown Bear Brewery, 729 Massachussetes St. The grilled cheese sandwiches served there were named the Kansan's favorite.
"This is really good," Kuho said. "I like the flavor."
itself turned out to be quite good. At only $4.54, it came in a basket with a bag of jalapeno chips and had a nice buttery flavor.
But Baker thought the cheese was a bit too gooey. "I had to wrestle the cheese to eat the sandwich." he said.
And Shaffer said that while she liked the Quinton's sandwich, she thought the presentation at Brown Bear made that sandwich superior.
Ultimately we ended up deciding that, while definitely good, the Quintin's sandwich didn't quite hold up to the Brown Bear's.
General Consensus: A close second.
Now, it's up to you. Go out and eat the Brown Bear's sandwich, our favorite, and sample a few other places too. We hear Einstein Brothers makes a mean grilled cheese.
We had originally considered visiting a other establishment as well, but by the time we left Quinton's, we were all cheesed-out.
