Between the Bread

Melt Bar and Grilled is definitely on my sand wish list, as long as I don't have to order the 13-cheese "Melt challenge." My friend Joy, a Cleveland native, counts Melt among her hometown favorites and recently shared thisdisgusting but delicious gourmet grilled cheese specimen.

Served on Texas toast, the Northcoast Shores features crab cakes, garlic spinach, roasted red pepper, and herb cream cheese. Why, yes, I would take that challenge. How about you?

On the menu, "crab cake sandwich" sounded a little too bready — breaded crab cakes between bread? So I did not order this sandwich last weekend at Gar Woods Grill in North Lake Tahoe, but when I saw Anna's sammie, I felt a pang of regret and asked for a bite.

Rather than breaded crab cakes, this sandwich on sourdough contained a sort of deconstructed crab patty, with all the expected seasonings and creaminess. It went very well with my giant mai tai. Of course, so did my fish tacos.
