Say cheese
In December, Andrea “Andy” Chetakian, 34, opened the Blue Light Speak Cheesy, a grilled cheese and brunch pop-up at Getaway coffee shop in Brooklyn.
“Because the space that I’m working in at the moment is so small . . . I just make one thing per day,” she said.
The menu includes brunch dishes such as double-decker breakfast tacos ($12) on Tuesdays, breakfast burritos ($11) on Thursdays and four bagel sandwiches ($9-$12) on Saturdays.
The rotating menu of grilled cheeses includes the BB-Quinn, with pulled pork and smoked Gouda, and the Don Pablano, with manchego and chorizo.
Why grilled cheese? “I started with grilled cheese because I had zero cooking experience. I couldn’t cook at all,” she said. “And I really did just think, if I tried really hard, I probably could make a good grilled cheese sandwich.”
