This year Kraft has hopped on board as a sponsor to make sure there’s more than enough cheese for everyone to fill up. In addition to entries made by the competitors, plenty o' good old-fashioned traditional grilled cheese sandwiches will be flying off the griddle and the cover charge includes indulging in this feast. (You might want to bring your own ketchup.)
Categories include;
The Missionary Position: Standard white bread (no sourdough), orange cheese (Cheddar or American), and standard butter (or margarine).
The Kama Sutra: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, and any kind of cheese, plus additional ingredients (the interior ingredients must be at least 60% cheese).
The Honey Pot: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, and any kind of cheese (the interior ingredients of the sammich must be at least 60% cheese), with an overall flavor that is sweet and would best be served as a dessert.
Plus this year, there’s a new category: The Lambada-Quesadilla!
Ms. Caution, one half of last year's top winning team saod, "I came, I cheesed. When we won the whole shebang and a trip to compete in LA, I bawled like a freakin' beauty queen. Yes me, bawling my eyes out over a grilled cheese sandwich."
Pixie Sunshine, Ms. Caution's co-winner reported, "Being a grilled cheese champion has been one of the highlights of my life! I was at a group job interview and they asked me to share something unique about myself. I said, 'I am a grilled cheese champion,' and I got the job!"
In these hard times, maybe you can translate a GCI win into a job, too. But you have to register to compete. Details at the website.
