Cream cheese. Cream cheese. So that'll go nicely with the apples. Yes. All right, James, figuring out the recipe. Cheddar cheese, yep. And your cheeses, are they a special blend? I see you have two different types. I have two different types. I have cheddar and Havarti. Good, okay, very good. Havarti is such a nice, light white cheese. I like Havarti, yeah. With the other mixture, it goes well. I can't wait. So this is similar to a traditional grilled cheese, but with a little twist. With a little twist. We're doing a little cream cheese. Now we're adding the actual cheese. Adding the actual cheese, a piece of cheddar, a piece of Havarti. This is when it gets interesting. We're going off track here. Oh, we have a little twist at the end. Yeah. Oh, okay. Something you're not expecting. Now, why green apples for this recipe? Green apple just has the tartness, which is sort of nice, and then the saltiness with the bacon. Okay. And then you're going to have, with the cream cheese, that's a great blend. And then we do something interesting at the end. Ken is going to drizzle a dash of hot honey on there for a little twist. Okay, I like what you're doing here. Lori is very excited because this is her sandwich that he's making right now. So that's why she's doing it. I'm ready. I'm ready. He put the bacon on. That looks really good. Oh, man, okay. Anything special about your bacon? What kind of bacon do you use? It's an applewood smoked bacon. There you go. That is just very flavorful. It's just good. Okay. It's real good. I can't wait to tell you. It has a great flavor to it. I'm going to take a bite of mine. Try it out. There you go. It's got a nice crunch sound to it. I'll ask you, can you even speak? Is it delicious? It's actually really good. I heard the apple part. I was a little like, apples on the grilled cheese. She was skeptical. It's a different twist. The way you went about the flavoring with the cream cheese and the different things, it brings it all together very nicely. Thank you. I'm not mad at it. So is this going to be a standard on your menu? Right now it's a special. It's just for fall. We'll be doing winter specials as we do every quarter with the different specials.
