    While I haven't tried it yet, there is a new food truck called "The Big Cheese" focusing solely on grilled cheese. Given that's there sole focus I would hope they have a product worthy of this top 10.

    I'm pretty sure the only things I like in adams morgan are the ethipian food, the fishtanks at the reef, and the "Popeye" spinach and feta grilled cheese at the diner. mmmmm.

    When in Leesburg, you MUST stop in to The Wine Kitchen, 7 S. King St., to try the Croque Monsieur.  As the menu says (think gooey ham and cheese).  Fresh country ham with melted gruyere!  It is delectable!
