Rustic Summer Sandwich

Is there anything better than a rustic summer sandwich for lunch during the dog days of August? Warm tomatoes off the vine, just picked basil, artisanal mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and crusty bread. Just yum!

Portrait of a Grilled Cheese in San Francisco

One of my favorite places in San Francisco is the Ferry Building. And within that favorite place, lies another favorite place, the Cowgirl Creamery Sidekick Cafe and Milkbar!

The food at the cafe leans toward gooey perfection in every way. Today they had a wonderful special — a raclette and sheep's milk ricotta grilled cheese sandwich with homemade pickles. The sandwich was warm, rich and delicious, with a tiny little "after" tang.

This is not your father's grilled cheese! Enjoy...
