Fingers Crossed's Grilled Cheese

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Oct. 26, 2024

Comfort food meets worldly flavors in Fingers Crossed Northport’s new fall menu (gochujang wings, anyone?), and we can’t think of a more perfect pairing than the Leelanau Raclette Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup ($15). An elevated riff on the classic combo, this nourishing plate pairs a buttery, white toast sandwich—stuffed with a blend of American, white cheddar, and Leelanau Cheese raclette cheeses—with scratch tomato soup (ingredients: house-preserved and canned Roma tomatoes, garlic, onions, and stock) finished with chef John Kehl’s top-secret seasoning blend. The soup is garnished with even more melty raclette, house-made croutons, and fresh dill, and that sammie was just made for dunking. (Promise we won’t tell if you lick the bowl!) Find Fingers Crossed at 108 S. Waukazoo St. in Northport. fingerscrossednp.com
