Grilled Cheese Invitational

By Alex in Food & Drink on Apr 25, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Last weekend, the 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational was held in Griffith Park, Los Angeles.

The event was the Olympics of grilled cheese making: 140 competing teams, hundreds of cheese-hungry judges (those lucky people who got in to eat free sammiches), and thousands of free grilled cheese sandwiches (and one grilled cheese wedding cake!)

Why in the world did the grilled cheese wedding cake have a statuette of the Virgin Mary on top? Was she wedding someone that day? I’m sure Joesph is going to be upset.

Oh my gosh, french toast grilled cheese is the most wonderful thing on earth. I though that was something my mother invented when I was little. My boyfriend gags when I make it.
When I was a little girl, the only thing I would eat were grilled cheese sandwiches. I hated everything a kid likes – pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets – but I did eat brussel sprouts, asparagas, and things like that. And grilled cheese. Now I love a good havarti on sourdough with granny smith apples. Best grilled cheese ever!
