The Oxford English Dictionary's Lexico defines Grilled Cheese as a North American toasted or fried cheese sandwich. The Oxford Dictionary should include a picture of Gayle V's Best Ever Grilled Cheese in Chicago to its definition of grilled cheese. Grilled cheese is my comfort food. After almost three years, I remember my first bite of The Classic. I had the chance to speak with Gayle to learn more about how she incorporates her mission and vision into her product offerings.
