Grilled cheese may be the ultimate comfort food, and now that September is here, our thoughts turn to the meals that make us warm inside.

We are lucky enough to live in a place where food is an art form, so it stands to reason that New Jersey would have some great grilled cheese choices, and we do.

But only one could be the top grilled cheese sandwich of them all. The granddaddy of grilled cheese in the Garden State, if you will.

Someone had to do the hard work to crown this champion, and that difficult work landed in the lap of the fine folks at Lovefood, and they know a thing or two about food, so when they talk, we listen.

We're sure they searched far and wide in the state from the beaches of the Jersey Shore to the boardwalk of Atlantic City and the ski slopes of North Jersey to make their decision, and they came up with the top grilled cheese in the state.

Their focus landed on Kenilworth, and the place they crowned the best-grilled cheese in New Jersey is American Melts.
