Grilled cheese

I saw this article today and just loved it. Apparently there was the “8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational” held in Los Angeles last Saturday. I’m so intrigued. Chefs competed in three categories: Missionary (standard bread, butter and cheese); Kama Sutra (anything-goes gourmet grilled cheese), and Honey Pot (dessert sandwiches).

The winner?

“The Cream Cheese Dream, grilled up by Dylan McDonald and Nicole Anderson for the Honey Pot category, was the highest-rated sammy, winning the chefs the title of grilled cheese champions. The dish featured cinnamon sugar along with cream cheese, with strawberries grilled into cinnabon bread.”
Say what? Sounds weird. Sounds good to me.

A good grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect comfort food. It is hard to imagine a bad grilled cheese sandwich really. So, the idea of a grilled cheese cook-off sounds decadent, comforting, deadly, and wonderful.

What makes a grilled cheese perfect? First of all, like most all sandwiches, I think it is better when someone makes it for you. As a child, I’d be in the kitchen making a sandwich with my dad, and I still don’t know how he does it, but even if we put the exact same things on our sandwiches, the one he made was always better. I think he has some kind of sandwich making super powers. But, something about having someone else make your sandwich automatically makes it just a little bit better.

Personally, I like my grilled cheese simple. Sometimes I add turkey or whatever leftover sandwich or dinner meats I have in the fridge, sometimes sliced tomato, but generally, I just like some cheddar cheese with mayonnaise and a little bit of Dijon mustard for bite. The way the mayonnaise gets all mixed and melty with the cheese is just heavenly.

Grilled cheese is the perfect comfort food. One of my favorites. Learning about this grilled cheese cookoff has me inspired. Maybe I’ll have to start experimenting. 🙂
