There are many people who think that \u201cfake holidays\u201d are getting out of hand. National Popcorn Day? (January 19) National Selfie Day? (June 21) National Margarita Day? (February 22)\u2014\u201dIt\u2019s all too much! And it\u2019s all too unnecessary!\u201d we hear them say.
<\/p>\n\n\n

Sure. It may be a little ridiculous to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month this April. Or sink our teeth into National Grilled Cheese Day on April 12. But if you ask us, the audacity is not in giving this melty, velvety comfort food a day (or month) of its own. It\u2019s in not giving ovation to the majesty of a quality grilled cheese sandwich every day of the year!

These 14 Western North Carolina restaurants celebrate the glory of grilled cheese every day.

Appalachian Java<\/h2>\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the name\u2014Appalachian Java offers much more than your standard coffee shop. A children\u2019s menu features PB&J, grilled cheese, and grilled ham and cheese. But adults can enjoy \u201cgrown up\u201d versions of each of these items (and much more!). The Greek grilled cheese features mixed cheddar cheese, feta cheese, tomato, and pesto aioli on sourdough bread.
