Last year, my two very best friends and I went to Chicago for a rock show and ended up in Boys Town (N. Halsted) for some dinner. We first headed to Las Mananitas for their killer nachos and then across the street to the 44th Ward Dinner Party (a little trendy dive that serves ONLY various kinds of gooey grilled cheese) for dinner. Becky tried the grilled cheese with granny smith apples. Eli and I shared a delicious ham and cheese on pretzel bread slathered with mustard. YUMMO!! Their 'sweet and savory' fries were a salty, sweet and delicious delight that provided the perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. We had such a great night at that place!! They even had a photobooth in the back!! Sadly, the 44th Ward is no longer. :( But, here is my take on our sandwich! Love it! Good Times, Girls!!
1 Pretzel Roll, split and buttered
1 slice Smithfield Smoked ham (medium thick)
a few slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
French's Mustard
Heat non-stick Skillet and assemble sandwich on pretzel bread layering cheese, mustard, ham then cheese. Place in skillet and cook on both sides until cheese is melted and ham is heated through. You can add as much cheese, ham and mustard as you desire. You basically can't screw grilled cheese up, unless you burn it!!
This goes great with chips or french fries and a pickle! If you bake some french fries, season them with a little salt and sugar! Good stuff!! Great comfort food on a rainy day!!
