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. Take a gander at the eleven page PDF menu/manifesto. Clearly they take their very cheese seriously, but not lame and snooty seriously. Dear Clementine, will you marry me?

Each day in April they are featuring one or more specialty grilled cheese sandwiches, replete with food puns and film innuendo:

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...

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
