a melt is like a grilled cheese with extra ingredients. So, if it’s just cheese, it’s a grilled cheese, but if you put a tomato, or bacon, or whatever in the sandwich with the cheese, it becomes a melt

Melt has things

If it has anything other than cheese, bread and spread on it’s a melt.
I would recommend checking out this subreddits top post for a pretty clean cut definition. Basically anything other than cheese crosses into melt territory

You people make me sick.
A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of “melts”. Almost every “grilled cheese” sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called “grilledcheese” is nothing short of utter blasphemy.
Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It’s called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don’t know what the hell you’d call that but it’s not a grilled cheese.
I would be more than willing to wager I’ve eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled “melts” because that is not a fucking grilled cheese.
I’m not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being.
Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I’ve seen post after post of peoples “grilled cheeses” all over reddit and it’s been driving me insane. The moment I saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.
You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

Grilled cheese: bread, cheese, spread for cooking.
Melt: add anything else.

A melt is often open face. They’ll be two sides to it both with cheese melting over the top. You eat it a little bit more like a bagel or something
A grilled cheese consists of three ingredients, Bread, Spread, Cheese. You can go beyond that but if you add veg or meat? Melt.
I remember people here were up in arms about garlic.
I remember someone said the department of evaluations would get back to us about cream cheese, but they never did!
I consider cream cheese to be a double threat because it can be the spread or the cheese, you just have to get it to melt.
If I add salt and pepper to my grilled cheese is it a salt and pepper melt?
All grilled cheeses are melts but not all melts are grilled cheeses
Melt has meat or fillings
