The bread is Clasen's European Bakery's Artisan Multi Grain Wheat Sourdough, a robust bread containing flax, millet and sunflower seeds. Sliced not too think and not too thin, it has a brawny texture and just the perfect amount of greasiness. Between the bread is a munificent amount of 3-year cheddar and Widmer's brick cheese combined in some magical proportion to create optimal melty gooiness, and a tad of roasted garlic -- which isn't obvious as a flavor on its own, but rather amplifies the savory-ness of the sandwich as a whole.
As if eating the best grilled cheese sandwich ever was not enough, I was able to enjoy it with two of the best former co-workers ever. They ordered the BLT and the Griddled Turkey & Havarti sandwiches. Both were works of art, assembled as if they were going to be in the centerfold of a sandwich magazine. Both sandwiches featured Nueske's smoked bacon which, my friends said, was thick and delicious.
The sandwiches at the Tipsy Cow are served with a couple really tangy homemade dill pickle slices. There are multiple side-items offered on the menu (half orders are allowed), for around $6 or $8 each. We didn't order any sides, but we should have because it seemed like something was missing from our meal. I, anyway, just didn't want to stop eating.
The service was good overall. We were greeted right away and the food was brought out quickly. Drink refills arrived without asking and before required. There was a lag between the time we finished eating and the check was brought, but our change arrived quickly. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Also worth mentioning ... the dining room features a well executed chalkboard drawing of the cow catapult scene from Monty Python.
This was my third visit to the Tipsy Cow, and I've recommended it several times already. I will definitely return.
