Who doesn't love comfort food during the Fall months? When I think of one of my all-time favorite comfort foods, I think of my favorite foods from my childhood. There is one sandwich I cannot live without in life: grilled cheese.
I work in downtown Sacramento and there are some funky hole-in-the wall diners that make some great old school food. I stumbled upon J's Cafe (1004 J Street) which has even a better grilled cheese sandwich than Denny's. It's like the Nirvana of all Grilled Cheese sandwiches. It's perfectly crisp with yummy, gooey American cheese melted in between toasty bread. The large steak fries that accompany the grilled cheese sandwich combo are seriously the best diner fries I've had in a long time and I'm a connoisseur of those fried heart attack potatoes. They are large wedges with just the right amount of salt (crispy and hot on the outside and soft inside).
I'm one of those freaky foodies who dip my grilled cheese in ketchup (if you have never tried dipping your grilled cheese in ketchup, than you have not lived the diner experience). I had a bout with that nasty flu bug that was floating around recently and when my appetite finally returned I was craving warm and fuzzy comfort food and hit J's Cafe for their infamous grilled cheese sandwich. One of my friend's (thanks Trista!) turned me on last month to J's Cafe and their grilled cheese sandwich and I'm a die hard fan of J's Cafe. This old school diner is one of downtown Sacramento's hidden gems amongst the trendy cafes and chain fast food restaurants dotting J Street.
Long live the grilled cheese sandwich and if you are ever in downtown Sacramento and are craving comfort food, I highly suggest ordering the tasty grilled cheese sandwich at J's Cafe.
Also, the grilled cheese combo comes with fries and a drink and is really inexpensive.
I would rate J's Cafe grilled cheese sandwich as FOODIE FABULOUS and then some! :)
