There is a line literally around the block for this new grilled cheese sandwich shop that just opened in San Francisco. It looked to be at least an hour wait so these millennials could pay $7 and more for a grilled cheese sandwich then blog about it. It’s right in the middle of where all the Internet start-ups are located on Second Street.
For Kindle and with free ePub version. Only $9.49 Great reading.
Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Don’t blame it on the generation, hipsters and bandwagon jumpers have always been part of western society.
What do they sprinkle it with, Cocaine??
there better be a hamburger patty in that fucking sandwich.
Can I haz grilled cheezburger.
I make them the old fashioned way, I use Wonder bread and a few slices of Kraft American Cheese. Then I wrap that in aluminum foil and heat up the cloth iron and use that to make the sandwich. Mmmmmmmmmm…..delicious and an authentic poor man’s meal.
Gosh, I made one fresh just the other day with a fried egg on top. Home made bread with home made cheese. Fried in pork fat rendered from home made pastrami. HOA made me give up on my Exotic Chicken Collection, or the eggs would have been free range too!
Why did I get this hobby after I lost my appetite and should be switching to fresh fruits?
Simple foods can be quite tasty.
Shut up and eat your grilled cheese sam’ich slave.
I bet they don’t even make it with mayo.
Yeah that’s right. You haven’t had grilled cheese till you’ve had it with mayo.
Could there be weed in the sandwich?
If that is take-out that is stupid. The best noodle place,Chinatown Express, and the best pizza place in DC, 2Amy’s, can make to-go in 10 min. No line for ordering, no BS.
I’ll take simple food with quality ingredients over sodium & fructose filled so-called food any day
That’s what you get when you have an entire generation raised on sprouts, wheat germ and Starbucks.
Grilled cheese sandwich. One of the few things I can ‘cook’ that comes out edible.
With $2 a glass lemonade and a $7 for a grilled cheese sandwich can we decide who overpaid the most?
I don’t understand what the big deal is. You’ve got two slices of bread; you’ve got a some cheese. Get a skillet and grill the damn thing!
One can only hope there’s a human incinerator at the front of that line.
Grilled Cheese Sammich – $7.00
Glass o’ Lemonade – $2.00
Ragging on the millenials – priceless.
Rumor has it that the cheese is made from only the finest Cambodian breast milks.
Since this is my generation we’re talking about, I bet most of them couldn’t make a passable grilled cheese if you put a gun to their heads and force them to.
What is the difference between these people and those that stand in line for the newest iPhone? None… one definition of ‘sheeple’ is that they have the latest iPhone.
#18: one of my friends, whose mom is a custom cake baker, can barely make instant ramen. 5 years ago he had no clue how to make grilled cheese.
Having checked the menu, it isn’t your basic 2 slices each white bread and American cheese sandwich, but good cheese and other various ingredients. Which would still only cost about $.50 to make at home, instead of $.15.
The best grilled cheese sandwich I make is made with a really good sourdough sliced bread, SHARP block American Cheese, slathered with Best Foods Mayonaise on the OUTSIDE of the sandwich, and cooked up in a fry pan until the bread is nice and toasty and the gooey cheese is dripping out. Is THAT what they serve at this place? I’ll check it out, since I fuel up my truck nearby everyday..
I looked at the menu for this place. The sandwiches look pretty good, and they’re definitely more than just wonder bread and a kraft single.
The price is reasonable. Only one sandwich on the menu is strictly grilled cheese – the rest have meat and other things.
There’s a reuben on the menu, for crying out loud.
My ex girlfriend did not know how to cook, and did not want to lift a finger to try. I work with a reporter who is PROUD that she does not cook, and her idiot boyfriend cooks for her every day. I think he is pussy whipped. I dumped my ex girlfriend in large part because she did not know how to cook, did not want to learn, and I got fucking sick of take out food whenever I did not cook myself. And restaurants cost far too much for a cheap bastard like myself. I just can’t bring myself to pay so much more than the ingredients cost.
Tonight, I am broiling whole Equadorian salmon. My ex girlfriend is probably having greasy pizza.
Reminds me of the Krispy Kreme donut rage (except they were national…and there was no such thing as a blog). I still have no idea what they taste like.

You’re missing out. Wait till they turn on the “Hot and Now” sign. You’ll see. It ain’t a grilled cheese, let me tell you.
30 years ago SNL did a skit about a place like this that only served cheeseburgers.
#2 Rather those are 420 grilled cheese’s.
San Franciscans love to queue, which incidentally is an English invention so nobody patent that. I suspect that if you stopped to tie your shoe laces in SF, there would be a queue forming behind you. As far as the toasted cheese sandwich goes, that too was an English invention. So there.
wow, here in so cal, i can get a grilled Ham and cheese (thin Ham Steak slice) for $3.50
you crazy northern hippies are all nuts.
#26 – That skit was based on a real place in Chicago. I ate there once, but I can’t remember the name. It’s under a freeway.
#19 – I hope your not one of those that pay $5 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks every day, while your credit card interest piles up.
