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?
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. 🙂

In the grand scheme of things you actually receive a B- just for effort and hard work. Where you actually misplaced everybody ended up being in all the facts. You know, they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more true here. Having said that, let me say to you just what exactly did do the job. Your authoring is quite engaging which is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can easily see the leaps in reason you make, I am definitely not certain of just how you seem to unite your ideas which in turn help to make the final result. For now I shall yield to your issue but trust in the future you connect your dots better.

I do like the way you have presented this problem and it really does provide me a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, from what I have observed, I simply just wish when the responses pile on that people today continue to be on issue and don’t start on a soap box of the news of the day. Still, thank you for this exceptional piece and whilst I do not really go along with it in totality, I value the point of view.
