Confession: I Love Cavanaugh's Grilled Cheese

Let me start off by saying that I love cheese. I cannot emphasize this enough. Cheese is the greatest thing on this earth and I eat a shit ton of it (I’m a vegetarian, ok, cheese is PROTEIN so it is for my health).

That being said, I am always on a quest for the best grilled cheese. In Philadelphia the best grilled cheese is hands down MeltKraft. Don’t try to argue with me, it is a fact. But, I have to tell you guys, on our very own campus there is another grilled-cheese-hidden-gem, and that is none other than. . . CAVANAUGH’S.

I don’t care what people think about Cav’s. Who cares if it’s usually empty and has eerie lighting, they have damn good grilled cheese and everyone should try it. It is melty and perfectly crunchy. Also it has FIVE different cheeses – American, Jack, Provolone, White and Yellow Cheddar – and comes with French fries for only $5.49. That is a broke/drunk college student’s dream.

To conclude, yes, I LIKE Cav’s. And I’m sure you would too if you tried their grilled cheese. If you are too embarrassed to actually go there, just order it from delivery.com or GrubHub. But I promise you, in no time you will be craving that 5 cheese sandwich so badly you will just walk in there on a Tuesday night and devour it and then try out their karaoke (take my lead, I sang “Baby Got Back”) because why the hell not.
