Golden toasted bread oozing with melted cheese, this delectable comfort food holds a place in the hearts of the young and old alike. Midwest Meetings spoke with Devin Shaunaman, Chef de Cuisine at Old Market Eatery, Bake Shoppe, and Bar in Brookings, SD to find out about one of her specialty grilled cheese sandwiches in celebration of National Grilled Cheese Day - April 12, 2016. Devin has catered a variety of events and loves planning five course dinners. She has worked with many different themes, but most recently created a Southern Style Bourbon Dinner and a dessert course pairing. "I try to keep things fresh and interesting so creativity is important in creating each dish." according to Shaunaman. |
