Construction Site Grilled Cheese Yonge Eglinton



 No surprise here. I went out drinking last night. Waking up on a Sunday morning is always a challenge. My bud and I decided to grab a quick bite before starting our days at a local Yonge and Eglinton spot called The Construction Site. Grilled Cheese at it's best? Let's find out.





Grilled Cheese Menu



The Review:


The Construction Site menu is small. Every  month it changes, and it has weekly specials that aren't on the regular menu. Featuring different types of cheeses for each of it's menu sandwiches, choosing what to order took a while. I was hungover, and even deciding if I was able to leave my apartment took a while. Being newbies to this grilled cheese joint, my fellow drunkard went for the classic grilled cheese ($5.50) with aged cheddar on french white bread. You can add bacon ($1.50) and tomato ($0.75). He's a glutton; he added both. All the sandwiches come with either fresh fried rippled potato chips or a micro green salad. Obviously he was less hungover than myself, and he went with the salad to offset the heavy greasiness of the cheese sandwich.




 

Classic Grilled Cheese

 After changing my mind several times, I went for the special that wasn't on the menu. The 'Cheeva' ($9.50) - an artery clogging invention that tugged at my heart strings. Rich, heavy mac n' cheese inside parmesan crusted white french bread. Fuck the salad, I asked for the chips as a side. I was expecting fresh, non run of the mill potato chips but was disappointed when I saw they were basically Ruffles with some dried rosemary sprinkled on top of them with way too much salt. Talk about overkill with the sodium. The sandwich had a nice crunch, and the mac n' cheese inside was moist and uber cheesy. Solid sandwich. I would have preferred they used thicker slices of bread for more substance, but the regular cut bread still worked.

The Verdict:


I love cheese. The reason I've had high cholesterol for the last four years is because of cheese. How can you go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich? I like the simplicity of the menu, and comfort food for me equals cheese. The sandwiches are straight up average. The over the top salty signature chips and thin bread kept me from giving this a solid rating. 6 out of 10. For the price, it's decent. I probably won't be going back here though.
