Grilled Cheese Scene - and tomato soup....perfect for a cold rainy day!

This is a superb grilled cheese sandwich from the movie "Chef" which is pretty good. It is about a Chef who is obessed with his food and flies across country to pick up a food truck and all confusion that entails. Lots of good scenes about cooking.

Anyhoo today it was cold and rainy in New York so I decided to make my favorite. Tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Now this does not look anywhere as good as the one in the movie. I used gluten free bread and Trader Joe's Tomato and Pepper Soup but I enjoyed it. I sprayed the pan with Trader Joe's Olive Oil instead of using all that delicious butter. Yes I love butter. I just can't eat it the way I used to.

So if you are going to make a grilled cheese use Jon's technique and enjoy it for me.

Master Chef

Decades ago I was introduced to a group new to me, I think they were remarking on my thinness, how polite, I was always skinny until then, they were asking about habits so I told them and one man known for his bon mots remarked,

"Oh, eat to live then, not live to eat."

That's how he characterized my description of my habits. Living to eat apparently characterized the group I was being introduced to. They all concluded together it wouldn't last long. It never does. For the most part they all started out skinny and grew to be heavy. It's natural. My family thinks that too and says so.  Every one of them is heavy. The phrase that man said to me, smartypants as it is, stuck and left a lasting impression. And this video agrees with the position on food that I've ended up having. 

That's odd. Before when my pants catch on fire like that it starts at the bottom, not the crotch.
