Grilled cheese is one of those universal foods that pretty much everyone loves. And the great thing about the humble sandwich is that it's extremely cheap to make — bread, cheese, a pat of butter, and you're good to go. But, according to DNAinfo, the Chicago Ritz-Carlton's restaurant, called deca, is looking to change all that. For the month of April, which also happens to be National Grilled Cheese month, deca is offering customers a special Zillion Dollar Grilled Cheese sandwich featuring all kinds of high-priced ingredients.
The sandwich starts with artisan country sourdough bread cooked in $30 olive oil with free-range black Iberico ham. For the cheese part of this crazy sandwich, the chef uses 40-year aged Wsiconsin cheddar infused with 24K gold flakes. Next come the heirloom tomatoes, 100-year-old aged balsamic vinegar, and Oregon Perigord white truffle aioli. To finish off the sandwich, it is topped with Hudson Valley Foie Gras and a sunny side up duck egg. And, oh yeah, there's a whole order of lobster mac & cheese on the side.
