This has got to be the coolest thing ever. Too bad I couldn't get in.
They call it "an orgy of cheese." Evidently there's something like 150 people making grilled cheese sandwiches to be judged by up to 800 attendees. Some grilled cheese loving roomies came up with the idea in 2003 and now it's an annual event that got a blip in the LA Times last week. Well, by the time I read the paper and tried to RSVP (that's the only way you can find out the location of the event), it was too late. They reached max capacity. Huge bummer.
I am a grilled cheese junkie.
It's a huge comfort food (white bread, white American cheese, lots of butter, in frypan, served with tomato soup of course).
Foodie food (French baguette, fresh mozzerella, procuitto, fresh basil, olive oil, on panini grill).
An "every-man-for-himself" dinner (any bread on hand, any cheese in fridge, any meat if any, any veggies sliced thin, olive oil or butter, on panini grill).
And dessert (sheepherders bread, Havarti cheese, sliced dates on panini grill) OR (country bread, dark chocolate bar, on panini grill, add créme fraiche after it's grilled).
Makes me want to hit Campanile on Thursday for Grilled Cheese Night.
I am determined to get to the invitational next year. Check it out at www.grilledcheeseinvitational.com
Just don't take my spot.

This sounds like the greatest thing ever!!! I had no idea you were a grilled cheese lover. I can't tell you how often I've been at a restaurant and seen "the kids plate" and wished that I could order a grilled cheese.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is my favorite winter lunch. It might snow this weekend, so I'll have to stock up.
