Want this sammy? It’s yours! We weren’t going to say anything about our latest grilled cheese exploits because, well, the thing was sold out. But now we’re told that there’s two seats left, so here ya go. It’s not so exclusive, it’s just a smallish fun thing. Hot Knives is grilling sandwiches for a 12-beer and 4-cheese tasting at one of our favorite beer stores, Red Carpet Wine & Spirits in Glendale. It’s the second of two events and it’s tomorrow (Aug. 24). The tickets are half price ($20). Rather than raffle them off, we thought we’d throw a cheesy contest. But first, consider these sammy courses…
Cave-aged Gruyere w/ zucchini relish
Sheep’s milk with lemon oil
Smoked goat w/ pickled grapes and pistachio dust
Stilton w/ figs, walnuts and chestnut honey
So here’s the deal: The first person to rock this cheese trivia can claim the tickets tomorrow and take their seat at the grilled cheese and beer bar. Leave your answers as comments. The first dude with the most right answers, wins. Here we go…

Yay!!! I wanted to get the tickets for my friend Kirby who is Hot Knives’ biggest fan. How do I go about getting them to her and all that?
Thanks!

You gave her Emmenthaler when it was really Comte?! Not the same!
