Grilled cheese vs cheese toastwich Grilled cheese? That's an odd name, unless it's cheese melting on a gas or charcoal grill. I first learned about grilled cheese when I was a senior in high school. That's because we didn't call it grilled cheese. The local name for that sandwich in eastern Ohio is cheese toastwich. That's a much better description than grilled cheese. And we dip it into ketchup, which for some reason, freaks people out who live outside eastern Ohio. #food #home #humor #history
