    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.

    Chorizo in the cheese grater is a stroke of genius.

    Sort of silly, but grating the chorizo blew my mind. Never would have thought of doing that for a melt.

      But is that chorizo cooked? Pretty sure you can’t eat that raw at all

      Spanish chorizo is smoked and edible right away. Mexican chorizo isn't processed and has to be cooked first.

    Bread was beautiful, shredding the frozen chorizo will forever be my new favorite tech for sandwiches.
