April 12th was National Grilled Cheese Day. Yesterday, we celebrated the delicious high holy day with a poll on my morning radio. We asked listeners and social media friends this question- Which restaurant in the Tristate has the best grilled cheese sandwich? As you can imagine, a lot of grilled cheese fans chimed in with answers. We compiled them and created this list!

Here are The 5 Most Popular Grilled Cheese Sandwiches in the Tristate, some of which I have had personally and can vouch for!
