Your momma made it for you ... your momma's momma made it for your momma ... you'll make it for your kids one day ... it's simple, it's pure, it's GRUB ... it is the grilled cheese. And thanks to John B., we've got grilled cheese night at The Oaks Gourmet to satisfy our fix for little-kid-all-grown-up goodness. Word on the street is that this place rotates its nightly GRUB offerings ... the aforementioned grilled cheese night gets to tango with taco nights and soup-in-a-bread-bowl nights. But alas, we got to frequent this fine establishment on a night committed to childhood and the mighty grilled cheese. At the Oaks, you're looking at some super-high-end-quality cheeses ... we're not talking about craft singles ... although we do hear they have a full glass of milk in each square ... we're talking about sharp cheddar, Gruyere, and Danish Fontina. And the cheese and delicious sourdough bread are only a canvas upon which The Oaks Gourmet paints its masterpiece, because on the night we hit up this Grub spot we had options to choose from ... the likes of Cajun shrimp-and-andouille-sausage, truffled-crimini-mushrooms, and the one we missed because we were too overtaken by the first two ... the crispy prosciutto with a sunny side egg, known gracefully as The Oaks Madam. Now don't get me wrong, my grilled cheese was amazing with its thick-n-juicy slices of sausage, roasted peppers, and arugula ... but overlooking the Madame on the menu finally makes the Wizard of Westwood click in my head ... "be quick, but don't hurry." But who could find me at fault ... I was overwhelmed with my choice of a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich, paired with a side of rich-n-creamy tomato soup, and tons of unique, hard-to-find beer and soda options ... could you really blame me for jumping the gun a little bit? Couple that all up with a homemade cupcake / a three x three inch chocolate-peanut-butter atomic GRUB-bomb, and it's pretty much game over. So if it's a Wednesday ... and you're in Hollywood ... and you like yourself some amazingess ... you know where you need to go. Because just like your momma would do when you stubbed your pinkie toe ... the Oaks Gourmet will make it all better ... and this time we're talking about GRUB.
