My three favorite foods are mac & cheese, grilled
cheese, and pizza. In December, I discovered that I had a dairy and gluten
intolerance, and my life basically lost all meaning. My fantasies of homemade baked and breaded, gluttonously
cheesy mac turned into torturous nightmares. Pizza translated to death. And
grilled cheese? Just stop.
Then, I discovered the answer to all of my gluten-free
prayers. A tiny LES h(e)aven called Little Muenster. This perfect hole in the
wall of a restaurant specializes in one thing: grilled cheese. And while I don’t
discount her amazing abilities as a chef, these aren’t your mother’s grilled
cheese. I’m talking masterpieces like gruyere, goat cheese and leek confit with
pancetta. I’m talking butternut
squash, brown sage butter and pecorino. Essentially, if you’re mouth isn’t
watering already, you don’t have a soul.
How did I eat these? Well, Little Muenster not only takes
gourmet to another level, they also offer all of these options with gluten free
bread AND vegan cheese. What more could you ask for? Besides a warm bowl of
tomato soup that is, which they also have.
Little Muenster can be
found at 100 Stanton St, NYC, NY. (212) 203-7197, littlemuenster.com
