Favorite Dishes: Grilled Cheese ("The Motherf*cker") at Museum of Electronic Wonders & Latenight Grilled Cheese Parlour (Marfa, TX)

On a nondescript street, you walk in and are immediately overwhelmed by a hundred or so brightly lit televisions plucked straight from the Jetsons, each displaying a moving eyeball or mouth. It's a lot to take in as you mull their cheese sandwich selection and attempt to pick the perfect end meal to your day (if the electronic wonders are too much, one can make their way to the cozy converted school bus just outside the restaurant). The Museum of Electronic Wonders & Latenight Grilled Cheese Parlour is as much about the experience as it is about great grilled cheese sandwiches. There are usually three or four grilled cheese choices that change from day to day, the one constant being "The M*therf*cker," a combination of all the day's cheese sandwich offerings, and of course that is the one I always get. It is the sandwich you wish you could have made when you were eight and getting ready for Saturday morning cartoons (I may have just showed my age). It is piled with cheese, brisket, jalapeños, three different cheeses and others I can't remember since I blacked out half way through the sandwich. A nice bonus is when you pay cash:
you get two dollar bills and dollar coins.
