Thanks you. I agree lets get us more subscribers. Any ideas

I'm still waiting to assemble my Blackstone, but trust me I'll be using it this winter and we live in NC. I don't know if I'll keep watching this channel since you said that a grilled cheese with American cheese tastes as good your grilled Gruyère and cheddar cheese sandwich! I'll never make a grilled cheese with American cheese!! 🧀😂 I like putting fresh ground black pepper on right after laying down the cheese.

FTK, you and Mrs. FTK are the top tandem in Griddle Nation! Love the attention to detail in your cooks! By the way, with Veterans Day coming up, just wanted to thank you for your service! I did 3 years in Army(84 to 87). Keep the vids coming....thanks to you my FT skills are getting better by the day. ✌ Brother

I am going to try that. Thank you for putting this together. Grilled cheese for the win! 🥇

I make some wicked good grilled cheese sandwiches, but your idea will take mine to the next level…thanks to you. Also, it’s cold in Tampa, but I’m using my Camp Chef…unless it snows here, then I’m out. Great video, stay warm.

Greetings from Hamilton County. Congrats on your choice of American cheese slices. That's the best American cheese, hands down. As for mayonnaise to replace butter on grilled cheese, I groan and wince at the suggestion. I tried it and decided it didn't want my grilled cheese to smell and taste like vinegar. Therefore, it's only BUTTER for me (sometimes olive oil). By the way, be on the lookout for Kraft Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar Slices. It's an 8-oz pack, 8 thick slices (1 ounce each), and currently only $2.98 at Walmart.

Going to say that one of the best grilled cheeses I've made, might sound a bit off. I will shred up a mixture of American and mozzarella, while making a garlic butter crust and 2 plain American slices directly on each slice before the mixture. I will set it out, showing the creamy gooiness in the center. Easily I can serve hundreds a day at my job. Before trying it this way, I always thought mozzarella would be a bad idea, but it mixes well and tastes great.

@Flat Top King - On the olive oil and butter... I read a book about The Beastie Boys. They included recipes for some of their favorite things.

I have been making my eggs like that ever since. Very good.
