If you've always wondered what the Lord and Savior would look like on toast, forget waiting for divine intervention and just do it yourself with the Grilled Cheesus.
Stories of people seeing the image of Christ on various foods are a constant in pop culture; however, the main inspiration behind the Grilled Cheesus by Rob and Meg actually comes from the show Glee, which featured an episode of the same name. They tinkered around with a sandwich press and the result was this piece of religious kitchenware. Now anyone can make a ton of grilled cheese sandwiches in the Lord's likeness without feeling the need to preserve the melted messiah, since the divine event can be recreated over and over again.
