Grilled cheese sandwiches are my ultimate comfort food. I love them on sourdough bread! The only thing this challenge was missing was a bowl of tomato soup. Congratulations on your new subscribers🎉 you have come a long way!
I couldn't do it without the support of wonderful people like yourself! We also use sourdough bread with our grilled cheese and we fry bacon and put fresh basil on our tomato soup! 😋
Congratz, only thing missing is a bowl of tomato soup. that would make it a childs dream lunch, of course that meant watching soap opera's with my mom then getting kicked out of the house to go play outside til dinner time :). those fries looked very tasty. thanks for the video and have a great weekend.
A childs dream lunch!?!? That's still my dream lunch! Lol, for me it was the Price is Right with Bob Barker and when that went off I would go outside until it was dark! Good ole days!
When I was in seminary in the mid to late 1990’s, I paid tuition by driving motor coach for Lakefront Lines. Every Friday night during ski season, we would take 8 bus loads to the tallest, “mountain” in Ohio for night skiing located in Belfountain, OH (I grew up in Idaho and lived in Leadville, CO where we lived at 10,200 ft, but could see 7 14ers from the valley floor.). We never made it to this place, but as the kids skied, we would head into town for supper.
I had an uncle that owned and operated a greasy spoon as he would call it. He had a catfish filet eating contest, I watched a guy eat 48 catfish filets once to win 100 bucks. It was awesome. I can still remember the sounds and smell of the burgers cooking. You’re awesome brother, having a ball watching your content.🖖🤙🏼
A whole lotta bread for sure and it wasn't the thinnest bread either. I love a good grilled cheese and hamburger. Another one down the hatch. Well done
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOMI didn't mean for it to sound like that. I was just saying that I wasn't going to complain if they gave me less than a bucket worth of fries. Lol. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!
Grilled cheese has got to be up there as one of the perfect foods, as yeah, childhood memories indeed. This one and the Tom and Chee one you did just makes me drool for grilled cheeses. Lil Cheezers food truck does some awesome specialty grilled cheese. When you said, “My wife isn’t here so she can’t control me, so I make mad decisions” LMFAO! Amen to that, man! Great job and as always also nice job editing and voiceover!
@@EliLessig Had a typo, as it should have said bad decisions, not mad. It’s either spell check or Brandon’s funny misspellings are rubbing off on me, lol. Six Forks challenge is no more as Troy is just doing catering and food trucks, and Big Joe pizza place I called and Joe said their busy in Oct and to call in Nov, the sub place in Florence, also busy when I’ve tried in August so, no problem. Mecklenburg is soon and with their hours being more limited, I am happy they’ve made available time for the challenge. Anyway, too long a reply, sorry lol 😂EDIT..cut cut cut, as I just called Mecklenburg to just now as wanted to double check and confirm the time/date of challenge and John answered phone and said today is their last day of business and that Mecklenburg Gardens is no longer open after today, as it’s new owners. Ah, man! I’m bummed. It’s ok, as I’ll see if I can do that sun station or something else in Cincy, or just thing of something else. It’s all good
@@EliLessig Thanks, man! I’ll do that and will check. Man, I gotta get to these challenges before they disappear, lol. I also want redemption on McDaniel’s KY hot dog one so that’s on my radar, too. Thx again!
Thank you for watching! This was a delicious burger, the only thing I would change is I would layer the burgers throughout so that each grilled cheese had that great burger flavor too!
Great video. I’m an endurance cyclist from about 15 miles south of Bellefontaine and this is a thought for a cheat meal deep in to my training season. Well done.
@@EliLessig agreed, been there a handful of times and it’s the best burger in the area by far. Just haven’t put the effort in to stretching my stomach with water and veggies for a food challenge since training is very carb and protein heavy.
There is a street in Hot Springs, Arkansas that has the shortest parade in the world every year at st pattys day. Great food in hot springs too, Eli 😉 come down to Arkansas and see us
Comfort food and wholesome conversations. Add to that the nostalgic, diner ambiance and you’ve got yourself a video just as sweet as the challenge name implies 😊 Nice of them to leave the pineapple on the fountain and not put it on a pizza 😜
Holy Cats Eli - You demolished that Giant Burger and Fries. Did you consider ketchup? Grilled cheese and fries always taste better with ketchup in my world. Congrats on another win... in less than one-third of the time too!!! Thanks for the video
I love a grilled cheese sandwich dude. But two is my limit...three if I've been drinking... MAYBE four if I've had a bit of the devil's lettuce. But EIGHT? Whew... good on you brother! Plus the burgers and fries! All that bread must have felt like a stone in your gut after. Much respect!
Supposedly the pineapple is the signal between “swingers” so when you said you had an interesting story I thought “oh boy”. 🤣🤣. Glad it was just a mix up
It used to, I'm ok now but when I first started, I would rather sit in the back corner somewhere! Now I enjoy it and most people are either interested or don't pay any attention at all. Nobody is negative about it.
It's a sin not to name that The Elvis Burger! If you are a reader you should read Ed Nelson's great series The Richard Jackson Saga. The Main Character lives in Bellefontaine OH. I wouldn't recommend this story if I didn't love it. The only thing this story didn't have in it was Bigfoot.
There is an awesome restaurant not far from there called Roscoe's Pizza. They have an Elvis pizza that has peanut butter, bacon, and fried bananas on it. Its amazing!
Why do grilled cheese places use nasty waxy American cheese. I don’t even think of it as real cheese. It tastes horrible. Have some pride and use real cheese. Not that crap with all that added junk.
@ yup. And I couldn’t choke it down i don’t know how you do it. That and jalapeño or any hot challenge. Have a wonderful holiday. You are blessed to have family.
Do you have kids? You'd make an awesome father, the way you talked to that boy. Just plain and simple. Loved that interaction
I have two daughters, but you know how it is. Dads are not cool and we don't know anything! 🤣
I can tell you are a great dad. @@EliLessig
@@EliLessig😂
@@EliLessiglol well said dad 😂
like the interaction with others... especially, the kid with the milkshake....lol... love it
He was a fun kid! He didn't want to be in the video so I left him out of it but he was very interested in the challenge.

Dons is great, I love eating there. Glad you were able to do this challenge!
Thank you, I really enjoyed it. The people and food were great.
Buddy this looks like a really cool place to
Chill
I would go to a place like this over a fancy over the top burger that costs $20 every time! This place made it through the decades for a reason.
There's something about orange soda with a grilled cheese sandwich...
Amazing smile Eli
You crushed it well done 👍🎉
I used to like Jones soda, it was pricey back when I was a kid. Something like $8 for a 4 pack (in the late 90's). I would get the orange flavor.
When I was in seminary in the mid to late 1990’s, I paid tuition by driving motor coach for Lakefront Lines. Every Friday night during ski season, we would take 8 bus loads to the tallest, “mountain” in Ohio for night skiing located in Belfountain, OH (I grew up in Idaho and lived in Leadville, CO where we lived at 10,200 ft, but could see 7 14ers from the valley floor.).

Thats a great story! Belfountain has a lot of history and this was a great diner to eat at.
It's my birthday I got my coffee and watching my buddy take on an amazing challenge. The start of a good day 🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday buddy!!! I hope you enjoy your big day and that it's a great one. Thank you for watching and letting me know!

I appreciate that man!
Eli you're taking care of business. Nothing but love for you.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Have a wonderful weekend!
Another great win. The grilled cheese looked great. I’ve never done a grilled cheese challenge. Coupled with the burger, sounds awesome. Great job.!
Thanks buddy, this is a challenge that I think you would enjoy. It had great flavor and the people were wonderful.
looked really good...wow
Thank you 😋
nice job
Thank you very much!
Looked good and filling lol, good job again Eli!!!
Thank you buddy 🙏
Hi Eli - Haven't finished watching yet... Interesting background at 5:19
I went to look but didn't see anything.
Dude! You killed it!😊
Thank you 🙏
Beast mode! Awesome job man! I can't wait to do something with you again #biggerandbetter
Thanks buddy! I'll be looking forward to it!
Great win sir! That was a lot of bread and fries!
Thanks buddy! Less bread would have been nice but each grilled cheese was made perfectly.
A whole lotta bread for sure and it wasn't the thinnest bread either. I love a good grilled cheese and hamburger. Another one down the hatch. Well done
Thank you sir! I love orange soda too, they used a whole loaf of Texas toast for the grilled cheese sandwiches. Thank you for watching!
Awesome Eli! Nicely Done!!
Thank you, I really enjoyed this one!
First video I have watched of yours & great job!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
great job. I hope these restaurants get a ton of business, from your viewers. Food looked amazing!
I hope so, I really enjoy making the videos and supporting the local/small business community.
great time Eli!!! 😎👍
Thanks buddy!
Always a great job Eli!
Thanks buddy 🙏
Not quite enough fries for a large family Eli😂 great video and win bro!
Thank you very much! I was going by what they told me, I wasn't complaining! 🤣
@@EliLessigI never said u were complaining dude. I understand the situation bro.
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOMI didn't mean for it to sound like that. I was just saying that I wasn't going to complain if they gave me less than a bucket worth of fries. Lol. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!
That was great work Eli!
Thank you very much Sandi!
Eli food looks great u got this challenge have a blessed weekend 😊😊😊
Thank you very much! Have a blessed weekend too!
Congrats on another win brother keep it going.

@MackBautista do try to get with Michael at Sub Station II, it is amazing and he is a wonderful person. You will love the challenge!
@@EliLessig Thanks, man! I’ll do that and will check. Man, I gotta get to these challenges before they disappear, lol. I also want redemption on McDaniel’s KY hot dog one so that’s on my radar, too. Thx again!
i usually eat a couple fries at a time not a fork full lol another great challenge completed !!! great job
I usually have a strategy before the challenge and forget it about 5 minutes later!
Their is as place in Kenton Ohio. Jac an does. There are differnt locations. This one has a pizza challenge for 2 people. I don’t think it’s been done
I've heard of it, I'm not sure but I thought I saw it was defeated. I'll have to check it out.
I will definitely be trying these John. Thanks for sharing!!
❤️🤣
Eli... was nice to have that 60 minutes to actually enjoy the food. Great job as usual sir!
Thank you for watching! This was a delicious burger, the only thing I would change is I would layer the burgers throughout so that each grilled cheese had that great burger flavor too!
@@EliLessig mmmmm meaty juices yum 😋 lol
@@jpmarx660 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing job Eli!
Thanks buddy!
I was at Don's in Bellfountain today, great burgers, great place to eat
They have some great food!
Those burgers looked amazing.
They were great. Highly recommend this diner.
Great video. I’m an endurance cyclist from about 15 miles south of Bellefontaine and this is a thought for a cheat meal deep in to my training season. Well done.
Thank you, this would provide some tasty and much needed fuel for that ride!

Going make my first ever grilled cheese burger sandwich this friday for lunch.. fingers crossed Eli
I bet it's gonna be great!
Eli, You are #1🤘🎸🤘
Thank you Matthew! I appreciate you.
I always ate grilled cheese with tomato soup on Fridays growing up.
The perfect meal!
Love those bar stools in the background
I do too!
GREAT JOB !👍👍🥪🥪🥪🍟
Thank you Yolanda!
There is a street in Hot Springs, Arkansas that has the shortest parade in the world every year at st pattys day. Great food in hot springs too, Eli 😉 come down to Arkansas and see us
That sounds like a lot of fun! I love places like this with quirky things they are known for.
Comfort food and wholesome conversations. Add to that the nostalgic, diner ambiance and you’ve got yourself a video just as sweet as the challenge name implies 😊
Nice of them to leave the pineapple on the fountain and not put it on a pizza 😜
Thanks man, I love diners and this was no exception. Thats a great point about the fountain! 🤣
cozy lookin diner
It was, thats the best kind! Let the food do the talking, not a bunch of decor on the walls.
Holy Cats Eli - You demolished that Giant Burger and Fries. Did you consider ketchup? Grilled cheese and fries always taste better with ketchup in my world. Congrats on another win... in less than one-third of the time too!!! Thanks for the video
I do use ketchup from time to time. I enjoy ketchup with a grilled cheese. Pickles too! Thank you for watching!
That looked really good! ❤
Its a great place, after the challenge I talked to a nice lady that had been eating there for 20 years.
Good job buddy!
Thanks man, this is a good one.
Good job food looked good
Thank you, it was really good!
I love a grilled cheese sandwich dude. But two is my limit...three if I've been drinking... MAYBE four if I've had a bit of the devil's lettuce. But EIGHT? Whew... good on you brother! Plus the burgers and fries! All that bread must have felt like a stone in your gut after. Much respect!
Thanks man, this is was a really tasty challenge!
Good job eli
Rhanks man!
Dang! i sould have use teh grilled cheeses as break and made sandwiches with the ham and burgers
Looking back at it, I should have done that!
Supposedly the pineapple is the signal between “swingers” so when you said you had an interesting story I thought “oh boy”. 🤣🤣. Glad it was just a mix up
🤣🤣🤣 I learned about the pineapple thing in cruise ship forums. I will not be wearing upside down pineapple attire!
congratulations 🎉
Thank you, I appreciate it!
It’s Bridge Street in Hot Springs btw @Eli
Thank you for letting me know!
Nice job.
Thank you sir!
Good job Friend
Thank you Carmen!
Missed opportunity to make some sandwiches bud!!!
I thought about that when editing the video! I guess I'll have to go back. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Knew you'd get it down in less than half the time 👍
Thank you! It was a great challenge.
I kept waiting for you to use the grilled cheese as buns for the burgers...
I thought about it, I really did but I was enjoying them by themselves so much I decided against it. Looking bad I should have done it at least once.
Happy Saturday fam ❤
Happy Saturday buddy!
Think I would have had to put a patty between 2 of those grilled cheese sammichs
I probably should have done that
The waitress at the end could of showed a little bit of excitement, damn! Anyways good job man, very impressive.
😆 thank you 🙏 Not everyone likes the challenges!
I love diners
They're my favorites!
What do you think when you see people sitting and watching you do your challenges? Does it make you nervous?
It used to, I'm ok now but when I first started, I would rather sit in the back corner somewhere! Now I enjoy it and most people are either interested or don't pay any attention at all. Nobody is negative about it.
Machine brother
Thanks buddy!
Also job
Thank you!
With the burger it's a patty melt
It's a tasty one too!
Dam missed you and Brandon again that sucks
Ya only 10 miles outside town
Sorry about that, this was a little while back.

@michellehopelamb5353 thank you and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday as well!
@ thank u but I’ve been very sick. It’s not gonna be very good sadly. But you and your wife always make me smile. Thank you.
