Let me begin by saying that I am no stranger to a cheese toastie. Our toasted sandwich maker comes out at least once a week for a quick, cheap, easy meal, and is probably - besides the kettle - our most used kitchen appliance - why make toast when you can make a toast-ie, right?
Sometimes, only two perfectly golden slices of toast encapsulating stringy melted cheese and, if I’m treating myself, some sliced chorizo, will do. It’s the ultimate comfort food, and something that Manchester toastie masters, Frankie’s, know just as well.
The family-run eatery, on Portland Street, are famed for their cheese toastie creations and adorable bull terrier branding, with the business named after Barry Chui’s beloved dog.
