Tom+Chee sold its first grilled cheese sandwich at a food tent on a public square in Cincinnati. Using fresh and gluten-free ingredients, Tom+Chee is spinning the classic comfort food as a healthy alternative. While they do offer a Grilled Cheese Donut, they also offer the vegetarian Hippy Chee and salads. After making a deal with investor Barbara Corcoran on Shark Tank, the franchise empire is expanding at a rapid pace.
