Recreating famous movie grilled cheese from @wambamdancam

The creator argues that the true villain of 'The Devil Wears Prada' is the boyfriend, not Miranda Priestly, and decides to recreate the Jarlsberg grilled cheese sandwich from a famous scene. He shows the movie clip for context, researches the modern cost of the cheese accounting for inflation since 2006, and then demonstrates how to make the sandwich. After cooking it, he does a taste test with an exaggeratedly positive reaction, complete with a dramatic cheese pull, before ending with a call-to-action for viewers to suggest other movie recipes to cook.

Transcript excerpt

Everyone knows that the real villain of Devil Wears Prada isn't Miranda Priestly. It's the bitch ass boyfriend. Oh, that's a big of you. And I always wanted to eat the $8 your $8 of Jarlsberg, the 8 the $12 Jarlsberg better run the clip. George. I'm not even hungry anymore. Oh, no. No. No. Give me that. It's like $8 of Jarlsberg in there. What? So I went and found Jarlsberg cheese and also found out that $8 in 2006 would be $12 today with inflation. Don't fact check that. So I made a $12 Jarlsberg grilled cheese from Doubleworth product. What? So I didn't use the entire block because that would basically be cardiac arrest. Let's give it a go. Holy. That's good. Oh my good. Jesus Christ. No comment a recipe from your favorite movie or TV show that I should cook next.
