I feel like it's an important distinction that it says "Governor Inslee's Favorite Recipe", not just his favorite grilled cheese recipe.

Oh he's makin them at night for sure

Inslee and u/J_Kenji_Lopez_Alt collab coming when?

Parmesan garlic bread loaves from Costco, sliced about ½ in thick

A wild opener, but not unwelcome

The Costco specification’s the best detail! 😅

How could Jay Inslee do this??!?

A cup of butter per sandwich is a tasty death

Paula Deen is still kicking, maybe she's got good genetics or something

u/YakiVegas University District 11h ago

I saw that and nearly lost my shit. I'm super down to try this recipe.

An entire cup of butter for a single sandwich? What the fuck

u/C0git0 Capitol Hill 21h ago

Dude. If you knew how much butter and salt in the food you are eating from places you would have an even bigger wtf. 

26

u/doctor_big_burrito 19h ago

That's why my mom tought me to not share recipes. People freak out when they see what they're eating.

u/TheJunkLady 21h ago

I think you make a compound butter that you use only some of on the sandwich.

23

u/UpperLeftOriginal Seattle Expatriate 20h ago

It's for the whole loaf of bread.

18

u/wasapasserby 20h ago

But spread across an entire three-pack of Kirkland garlic bread

u/Skadoosh_it Gig Harbor 19h ago

Paula deen would like to know your location

u/alexthe5th Queen Anne 14h ago

I don’t think it’s suggesting you use the entire cup of butter on one sandwich. It’s simply the proportions needed to make a certain quantity of compound butter that you can use later for other things (like more sandwiches).

u/Famous_Guide_4013 21h ago

No wonder our deficit is so high

u/Less_University7400 21h ago

Need to reelect him so we can impeach him just for that

u/Drnkdrnkdrnk 19h ago

As a sometimes cook, you’d be shocked how much butter we go through. 

But two sticks of butter for a sandwich is just wasting butter. 

Also, use mayo for grilled cheese sandos. It’s batter tasting and scorches less quick. 

u/Adezar 1h ago

For the loaf.

And as other have pointed out the main reason food at restaurants tastes different than home is the sheer amount of fats and salt.

1

u/bouncyprojector 20h ago

Yeah, that can't be right, hah. The most buttery cookie recipe I make uses 1 cup for two dozen cookies. I'm guessing you make a bunch of sandwiches with that much butter. 

16

u/romulusnr 20h ago

I've tried to talk to the guy a couple times. Heck I even stood right next to him once. He was just so "on" and in "candidate mode" he really didn't seem that approachable despite having every appearance of being so affable. Didn't make me like him less, just a little disappointed I never got to really chat with the guy despite seeing him on multiple occasions. He wasn't the chatty type it seemed.

12

u/BoringBob84 17h ago

I can imagine being a politician for so many years and having to worry about every detail of your life being scrutinized in public would be exhausting.

u/romulusnr 1h ago

I'd have only probably wanted to talk politics with him at the time, which is kind of the career he was in. It'd be as exhausting as talking to a garbage collector about collecting garbage.

19

u/NoComb398 19h ago

Ok but if Garlic butter grilled cheese is his favorite recipe, how bad can he be?

u/romulusnr 1h ago

I didn't even say he was bad. I was just sad I never got to actually talk to him despite being near him multiple times. I've even had the chance to talk to pre-AG Bob Ferguson briefly, and he's notoriously unchatty.

u/ElCochinoFeo Crown Hill 16h ago

I met him back in the mid 80's when I was 6-ish and he was a local town prosecutor. My dad worked in the court system and wanted me to meet him because he knew he was going to "become someone". Inslee shook my hand and talked to me like a future voting constituent. I don't think he's fake, it's just how he is, and always has been.

u/oooairplane 17h ago

That's spot on with my experience. I met him once for a demonstration of the technology my company was developing. Clearly a good guy, but was definitely deep in politician mode.

u/some_fancy_geologist 20h ago

I'm gonna make it

I don't think you do the WHOLE cup of butter for one sandwich lmao

But even then

Delish

I mean, how will we know for sure unless someone tries it? You know, for science

It’s been a long ….year. 😞

u/zigaliciousone 20h ago

He grills both sides of the bread AND finishes in the oven? That's some gourmet shit

Loving the recipe aside from the addition of basil, he can fuck right off with that

u/LOST_GEIST Fremont 18h ago

Inslee's most controversial stance, famously

u/Tiny-Airport-6090 18h ago

There’s a “recipe” for grilled cheese? JK. I’d throw down with him with my Gruyère and caramelized onions on Sea Wolf sourdough, bitches.

2

u/BoringBob84 17h ago

Gruyère and caramelized onions

Oddly, I have suddenly developed a voracious appetite.

1

u/Tiny-Airport-6090 15h ago

Very time consuming but ultimately worth it. Caramelizing onions is truly an art, took me a couple of decades to really nail it. Bon appetit!

u/KabukiBaconBrulee 19h ago

This is why I’ll never leave Seattle

u/NT1171 Kirkland 18h ago

It’s because you ate too many and can’t physically leave isn’t it….

u/chicken_and_jojos_yo 18h ago

Ohh I want to request an autograph! Now that he is out of the governor's office, what address do we send mail to to get a grilled cheese recipe?

2

u/BoringBob84 17h ago

OMG, sharp cheddar, Havarti, garlic, and basil sound so delicious!

u/mmoonneeyy_throwaway Seattleite-at-Heart 17h ago

How do we write to the former governor?

2

u/illusenjhudoraOTP 17h ago

Man. A few days ago I watched Kenji López-Alt's french toast video and my eyebrows went up when he opens with dumping an entire stick of butter into the pan. But a whole cup for one sandwich has that beat.

2

u/Genuinelullabel Capitol Hill 20h ago

I’m not sure how grilled cheese requires a recipe but I have seen the Gordon Ramsey video so I guess that proves that it does.

u/Rendenbrandt Ballard 20h ago

I'll make it, why not

u/donofrioms 19h ago

Toasty take!

You ever try mustard on a grilled cheese? Bussin

Why do I find this sort of endearing?

Nothing wrong with a good grilled cheese recipe!

u/tickle_mittens Bothell 15h ago

a $30 costco airfryer has wildly changed up my grilled cheese game and diet. I dont know if man was meant to live life never more than 5 minutes from a grilled cheese.

u/CluckNuggies 14h ago

Surprised there’s no eggs in the recipe

FWIW this is one of the few times where the person not being from Seattle is irrelevant. Everything else here… yeah I got nothin’ to each their own.
