Epicerie Boulud
When one of the most respected chefs in the city has a "Grilled Cheese du Jour" on the menu, how could it not be a succulent version of a simple concept? Although Epicerie Boulud's soups du jour might not match--they are served cold--the laid back cafe has a large selection of seasonal goat and cow cheeses, in case you want to head home and make your own version. So whether you order the daily special or use their cheeses to re-create one of their previous versions at home, Daniel Boulud has done it right.
