Cheesedance 2007 - Clementine Celebrates National Grilled Cheese Month
()
There has been a gross oversight, a lapse in judgment, a glitch in the matrix, a ghost in the machine, and so on and so forth… It's National Grilled Cheese Month and somehow it slipped by me like an invisible man on a banana peel.
Luckily, we're not even halfway through the month, so there is still time to recover. And even more luckily, Clementine, the cutest, coziest, tastiest, freshest, raddest, lil restaurant on the Westside is not only participating in this event, but they are downright championing the mofo.
And while I heave a hearty sigh goodbye to their now hibernating “Autumn Chicken Salad” (they make seasonal food), it is with great pleasure that I introduce their very sexy April menu, done-up with a film festival treatment.

Each day in April they are featuring one or more specialty grilled cheese sandwiches, replete with food puns and film innuendo:
Now Playing:
Queso Fundido - A Trans-Iberian Journey
Principal Cheeses: Manchego, Queso Mahon
Supporting Meat: Lomo
Bread: Rosemary
Condiments: Quince Paste -- The latest work from director Hector Cabrales, this sandwich is a showcase for some of the most flavorful talent in Spain.

But, after seeing Lomos performance here, it is clear that that problem has been cured...

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
