I’ve eaten almost everything on the menu at Kenny’s Westside Pub, but I’ve never had the grilled cheese sandwich there. So I thought Kenny’s Westside would be the perfect place to kick this 23 week grilled cheese series off.
So let’s begin this cheesy journey at one of my favorite places in Peoria: Kenny’s Westside Pub!
Here we are in downtown Peoria and there’s Kenny’s Westside Pub.
Let’s go in and start this cheesy adventure!
Here we are inside and we have a special guest star joining us today…
And I think I see him over here at this table…ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce this week’s grilled cheese guest star…
Terry’s a friend and has been a guest star on the blog many times through the years.
Terry was a writer and reporter at the Peoria Journal Star and later for the Associated Press.
He’s been working on a fictional novel for several years and the exciting news is that it’s complete and Terry is now talking and negotiating with contacts about the final publishing phase of the novel!
We’ll have a celebratory blog when the release date is set in stone, so stay tuned for that!
Great to see Terry and I appreciate him joining me for the start of this grilled cheese tour at Kenny’s!
Jaime came over to our table and took our grilled cheese order.
Always great to see her pretty smiling face at Kenny’s!
I could spend days just looking at all of the pictures and art on the walls at Kenny’s. It’s like a 100 proof museum in here!
There’s the impressive wooden bar where many drinks have been hoisted through the years in here.
Behind these doors is where the live music happens at night in here.
It’s the daytime now, so there’s no music, but click here to get a taste of when Kenny’s comes alive with music when the sun goes down!
This St. Patrick’s Day is the 10th anniversary of Kenny’s Westside Pub!
That marks a decade that Sean Kenny has been bringing live music, food and fun to Peoria! Sean started out on St. Patrick’s Day back in 2013 on Farmington Road and he quickly grew Kenny’s into Peoria’s premier entertainment emporium in downtown Peoria!
This St. Patrick’s Day Kenny’s has live music with four bands starting at noon and running through the entire day and night. They open at nine in the morning with biscuits and gravy and of course corned beef and cabbage all day and all of the night along with festive beverages!
Congratulations to Sean Kenny, the owner and operator of Kenny’s Westside Pub on a decade of providing live music, unforgettable food and tons of fun to the Peoria area!
I published my first blog on Kenny’s shortly after he opened up and it’s been one hell of a ride for the last ten years!
Thanks for all you do, Sean, Kenny’s is a wonderful oasis of fun and live entertainment in downtown Peoria and we all appreciate it being here and the wonderful work you do to keep it running and happening!
Cheers to Sean and to the next decade of Kenny’s Westside Pub!
Okay, back to Terry and our table where…
The grilled cheese sandwiches have appeared!
Terry got his with french fries and I got a truly cheesy meal!
For my side dish I got the Corned Beef and Bacon Mac and Cheese and it was so rich, creamy and delicious!
It was a little cheese tease for…
The star of this cheesy lunch, Kenny’s Westside Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
This grilled cheese is a four cheese blend with bacon, Roma tomatoes on grilled buttered Vienna bread.
It looks absolutely fabulous! I’m going to take it to another level though!
I got a side of the homemade cheese sauce and dipped the sandwich into the sauce and it was a true taste sensation!
The Vienna bread was crispy and buttery and the cheese was rich and creamy and was balanced out in a delicious and savory fashion with the smoky bacon. This was not only the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had, this is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my entire life!
I can’t believe it took me ten years to try this delicious sandwich! If you’ve never had the grilled cheese at Kenny’s Westside Pub, get over there and try it!
They serve food till four in the morning, so go and check it out, you won’t be sorry!
Jaime brought out Adrian who cooked up this masterful grilled cheese for us!
Thanks Adrian, you did a wonderful job and both Terry and I agreed it was the best grilled cheese sandwich we’ve ever had!
