The Grilled Cheese Invitational Returns To Los Angeles

The Grilled Cheese Invitational

The Grilled Cheese Invitational returns to Los Angeles on Saturday, April 19th.

The 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational will be mankind’s greatest achievement since the invention of fire!” says Tim Walker, the event’s founder and organizer. “This year we will have more cheese than ever before. More competitors, more sammiches, more everything!”

At The Grilled Cheese Invitational, amateur and professional chefs compete side by side in four categories to determine just who is a grilled cheese champion. Each competitor must prepare at least 20 samples of their sammich for the judges.

Who are these judges? YOU! Yes, anyone with a passion for the cheese is welcome to attend this event and judge sammiches. Judging is easy and is done using standardized ballots and a patented, computerized database that scientifically tabulates the results to determine the winners. So put a sammich in your face and tell the world what you think with a bread-muffled cry! MPFF!

Due to the absolutely overwhelming response to last year’s competition, the organizers have selected a NEW LOCATION for this year’s invitational that will allow for more people to attend the cheesening. As with previous Invitationals, the location will not be announced until the week of the event.
