History Fact
The Iron Maiden Wasn't a Thing

Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese at American Grilled Cheese Kitchen in San Francisco
America's quintessential cheese dish is the grilled cheese — and at restaurants across the country, this classic dish has been given a delicious twist.
San Francisco's American Grilled Cheese Kitchen has really upped the game with its over-the-top take: mac and cheese stuffed between two thick slices of garlic-buttered sourdough bread (sourdough is a San Francisco specialty).
The result is ridiculously rich and creamy. In other words, it’s perfect.
Movie/TV Trivia
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The cast often had to fly to remote shoot locations by helicopter. Sean Bean (Boromir) was afraid of flying, and would only do it when absolutely necessary. When they were shooting the scenes of the Fellowship crossing the snowy mountains, he'd spend two hours every morning, climbing from the base of the mountain, to the set near the top, already dressed as Boromir. The crew being flown up, could see him from their helicopters.
