Gossip Girl: Serena's Sandwich Available to the Masses!
One of the reasons we love Gossip Girl is the how it makes even the most mundane thing fabulously decadent. Take the grilled cheese sandwich. Our version usually involves the kind of cheese slices that come wrapped in plastic on store-bought bread. If we're feeling indulgent, we might use cheddar. Their version of the comfort-food classic? It involves white truffle oil and is served by the head chef at a ritzy hotel.
Now even the unwashed masses can experience such culinary heights for a mere $50! Yup, a grilled fontina and white truffle oil sandwich is on the menu at Gilt, the real restaurant in the honest-to-god Palace Hotel – the one our favorite bad boy's father owns in the show. If you balk at spending that much on a grilled cheese sandwich, wait a while – a version with black truffles will be available soon, for a paltry $25.
Note: It's unlikely that your sandwich will be served up by the head chef himself. (Trivia alert: Gilt restaurant head chef Christopher Lee appeared as himself in the pilot, serving Serena her betruffled treat.) And please – don't knee your server in the groin.

I THINK THAT GOSSIP GIRL WILL BE COMING FOR ONE MORE SEASON. THE SHOW STILL HAS MANY FACES TO TURN.
I THINK GEORGINA NEEDS TO GO BACK TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM SHE HAS EVERYONE OUT OF THEIR CASES. DON'T GET ME WRONG GEORGINA IS A CRAZY CHARACTER BUT THE UPPER EAST SIDE IS ALL OUT OF CONTROL SINCE SHE CAME INTO THE PICTURE.
WELL THANKS AND LOVE GOSSIP GIRL LOVE THE BOOKS AS WELL.
