Woah! NC? I have family there and visit several times per year. Does your deli do grilled cheese or is it just something you do on your own?

> Cheese and bread, after all, are what make a grilled cheese sandwich. That’s a golden rule of r/grilledcheese land. Once you start adding extras — such as jams or spreads or vegetables or meats — you’re making a melt, not a true grilled cheese, they believe. Konko says he likes the limitations that imposes. “I threaded the needle by having other ingredients already in the cheese.” he says. “If the cheese already has bacon in it, then I’m good. But if I added bacon to the grilled cheese, then I’m in melt territory.”
This part alone is gold 💀

You’re in NC?!? Whereabouts? That makes it even cooler. I live in the mountains.

Man I saw your post yesterday but I got busy at work and only just now finding out it was your last one.
I’m a little sad, but all good things come to an end. You’re a legend.

This is really cool, OP. Also, a fellow North Carolinian! I’m moving from Asheville to Chapel Hill soon. We’ll practically be neighbors. Cheese on, friend.

I can’t belive you got an article in WaPo! Now they should fund your book!

Our hero gets the recognition they deserve 🫡
What a fantastic article!!
Cheesemas was definitely the culmination of one of my favorite experiences on Reddit, thanks u/pkonko37. Enjoy a bit of spotlight!
Told you we were here for history!
I did nothing but comment…
This is excellent!
Can’t believe this actually got on the washington post. Happy cheesemas!
What a great article. Congratulations!
So glad I bought the tiny pants last night. There were only a couple left. I have gotten to help with the year of cheese history!
Oh man I really want to read that, is there a non paywall version?
Very much deserved! Only gripe is the bread type, but that all comes down to personal preferences.
This rules!! We love you, Pkonko. Thanks again for the year full of joy and amazing cheeses!
Merry Cheesmas everyone!
