Late night chorizo grilled cheese

I made a grilled cheese sandwich. The chorizo I keep in the freezer (along with a stick of pepperoni) so that I can grate it on a box grater and add flavor to fillings for things like grilled cheese, quesadillas, or pizza toppings. It's cooked on a Baking Steel Griddle and the tool is a mortaring trowel from home depot, which is my favorite press (and cheap!)

To answer a few frequently-asked questions:

- I’m using Spanish dry-cured chorizo. It is meant to be eaten raw, like salami. Do not do this with Mexican chorizo or any other chorizo that must be fully cooked before consuming.
- the herb is cilantro.
- the cheese is tillamook sharp cheddar.
- the bread is a sourdough batard from Backhaus in San Mateo, CA (disclosure: I am a board member/silent partner there. I don’t have anything to do with day to day operations.)
- the flat surface is a Baking Steel Griddle, mini size.
- I hold the sandwich down with a mortaring trowel from Home Depot.
- the two hot sauces are Inner Beauty (a mango and mustard-bases Caribbean style hot sauce invented and scribbled on the back of a napkin by Chris Schlesinger at the old East Coast Grill in Cambridge, now owned by a company called Todd’s, and Secret Aardvark, a mustard and habanero-based hot sauce from Portland. Both are great for grilled cheese.)
- this was shot with a GoPro 4 with a head mount. It’s an older camera hence poor stabilization. I use better cameras now.
- I was definitely a little bit buzzed, this was made after what used to be my weekly karaoke night at the Swinging Door in San Mateo.

I love how he stops to take a sip just for character development.

“Dad, why is my sister named Rose?”
“Because your mother loves roses.”
“Thanks dad.”
“No problem, Late night chorizo grilled cheese.”

Whenever this pops up in the recommendation you just have to watch it, no matter how many times you've seen it.

This man was silently making this masterpiece at 2am with a camera taped to his forehead

I make this all the time since seeing it ages ago and I've started adding some red pesto to the inside and it's so nice

I kept waiting for him to start throwing eggs around while grunting incoherently when I realized I was on the wrong channel.

[PapaBerto]
