TooJay’s Deli, the Florida-based NY-style deli and restaurant brand, announced a collaboration with acclaimed chef and TV personality Chef Eric Greenspan to feature some of his world famous grilled cheeses from his cookbook “The Great Grilled Cheese Book: Grown-Up Recipes for a Childhood Classic.” Greenspan is best known for appearing on Food Network shows including “Guy’s Ranch Kitchen” and as a judge on “Guy’s Grocery Games.”

“Grilled Cheese is one of my favorite American Classics, and I’m so thrilled to share some of my tasty takes on the sandwich with TooJay’s diners,” says Greenspan. “ The five recipes coming to TooJay’s were specially selected to offer something for every taste.”

Launching July 5, all TooJay’s locations will offer five of the delicious recipes from Greenspan’s book, including:

“We couldn’t be more excited to be collaborating with my friend, the renowned Chef Greenspan, to share some of his delicious recipes with our patrons. His unique take on grilled cheeses are the perfect complement to our already robust menu of homemade comfort foods and made-from-scratch favorites,” says Robert Earl, CEO of Earl Enterprises.
