Is there anything better than chowing down on a gooey grilled cheese? I didn’t think so, and apparently, everyone else agrees—that’s why today’s National Grilled Cheese Day. Looking for a place to celebrate with a grilled cheese in Birmingham? We did the hard work of rounding up local favorites, so all you need to do is make lunch plans.

Say goodbye to the days where a grilled cheese sandwich was simply a slice of cheese melted between two pieces of bread. MELT puts a twist on your classic favorites with options like a mac & cheese egg roll and a grilled cheese full of mac & cheese (my go-to).
