I love grilled cheese sandwiches. Unlike most people, I didn’t develop my fondness for grilled cheese until adulthood. This may have been due to the way they were prepared in my childhood home: Sunbeam white bread topped with Kraft singles and baked in the oven (sorry mom and dad). But now, having tasted a “real” grilled cheese, I adore them.

If you have a fondness for grilled cheese, you will love the new Grilled Cheese & Winner dinners at {three} sheets in Sandy Springs. On the third Tuesday of each month, they are presenting a five-course meal of assorted grilled-cheese sandwiches paired with wine for $30 per person. Below is the January menu:
