Remember when I asked if stoner food was still a thing? A great example of how the answer is a resounding yes is Cincinnati-born Tom+Chee's newest menu add-on: Flamin' Hot Cheetos crust.
Yup.
Pulverized Flamin' Hot Cheetos (which also happen to be gluten-free) can be used to coat the outside of the fancy grilled cheese franchise's sandwiches, melts and doughnuts for a limited time. And guests can even make additional Cheetos infusions if they choose: Want more Flamin' Hots on your Grilled Mac+Chee instead of fried onions? No problem.
"It's really out of control, but it's awesome!" said Tom+Chee co-founder Corey Ward in a statement.
Participating fast-casual locations nationwide include the Tyrone-area restaurant in St. Petersburg, which opened in 2015. Orlando has Florida's only other Tom+Chee-sery.
