If you’re still not convinced the Grilled Cheese Invitational is worth your precious Saturday night, consider this: 40 self-lighting propane grills, 16 judges per sandwich and one Mayor of Cheese. Show up and register to judge the sammiez yourself. And if that isn’t enough, here’s a sneak preview of our own humble cheese roster for the upcoming contest.
“Italian Stallion”
A foglie de gnocci (hard pecorino aged in walnut leaves) encrusted tallegio melt.
“Pepper Jacked”
Pepper syrup rubbed Texas toast stuffed with roasted green chili, young Monterey Jack from Oregon and hard aged Monterey Jack from Sonomo and tri-colored exotic peppercorns (telicherry, Szechuan, white).
“Strawberry Shortcake”
Fresh chevre on English muffin loaf with strawberry-balsamic compote, fresh basil and balsamic glaze.
