A man wanted just two slices of cheese on his sandwich, so when his wife used three slices in his grilled cheese sandwich, he became irate.

Angered at the sight of all the extra cheesiness, James DePaola became agitated and violent, yelling at the woman, Michele DePaola. According to WSB-TV, DePaola then ripped the landline out of the wall so his wife couldn’t call the police and reportedly screamed at her intensely. The couple’s 12-year old daughter who witnessed the incident called the police to the scene, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

James DePaola was charged with obstruction of a 911 call and criminal trespass/damage to property over what the police now refer to as “the grilled cheese incident”. DePaola has a history of “abusive behavior,” and was often “excessively critical and controlling of day to day things in life” like sandwiches, apparently.

    This man is not a true American, as there is no such thing as a “too cheesey” grilled cheese.

      Lotta people are saying he wasn’t even born here. All I’m asking is if he IS a real American, why haven’t we seen his birth certificate? Just asking questions here…

        Tucker Carlson: “Many people are saying he isn’t an actual American. If not, who is he? Is he a Russian spy? And if so would he like to come over to my home to discuss Putin’s dreamy eyes and masculine physique? I am just asking questions here.”

              I always preferred jungle, dnb has a nice head bopping groove but jungle is much more fun, of course doesn’t always apply. I have no idea what the parent comment is about just wanted to add my opinion on some nice beats.

              The ready or not dnb remix from the late 90s was the shit though.

        Get that French shit outta here.

        Unless you’re making your grilled cheese on brioche. Maybe some sliced pear. Or fig. Make that shit gourmet.

      The problem actually lies in the “cheese” slices. THEY AREN’T CHEESE .

      I’d be pretty irate if I got served that stuff in a cafe.

          I mean they’re not pure cheese but they definitely contain real cheese. As fun as it was watching Nile Blue mess around, the recipe to make fancy versions of American cheese with fancy cheese (that is practical to do at home) has been known for a long time.

          One of the many things I do not miss from living in the US is the range of ersatz foods which have replaced the real thing in the popular market.

        I’m generally not a fan of the stuff, but one of the few places American “cheese” is good is a grilled cheese sandwich.

        I’d still prefer a sharp cheddar myself, but American is acceptable.
