where I am making public an old Patreon-exclusive in which I recreate Carl Casper Chef 's

"I love you son even though I'm not very good at showing it" grilled cheese.

We're starting with a little bit of olive oil in a cast iron pan,

then we are liberally buttering two slices of sourdough bread

Placing in the pan over medium/medium-high heat, trying to get a little bit of a toast going,

before adding gruyere, cheddar, and parmesan cheese.

This cheese blend was tweeted by the man himself at 8:04am on July 13th, 2014.

Once these guys get a little toast going and the cheese is looking a little melty,

let's bring the two halves together and, sort of inexplicably, continue spreading butter on the bread; this is what he does in the movie.

If I had to guess why, I'd say it's to add a little bit more buttery-ness.

Continue toasting and flipping as necessary until nice and brown and the cheese is totally melted.

If it needs a little help, throw a pot lid on top, pour yourself a little bit of tequila,

and in a few minutes you'll have a nice, toasty, melty grilled cheese.

Most of this stuff is pretty standard, but the cheese blend is really where it's at.

The only thing I might do differently would be to use comté or fontina cheese in place of the cheddar.

And now, what we all came here for, the cheese stretch.

A moment of silence, please.

Let's listen in to my celebration of this treasured national holiday.

"I mean...shut the f*** up."

*Distant laughter*

"Mmmm!"

Yeah, shocker, it's really tasty.

Anyway, guys, happy National Grilled Cheese Day.
