Damn! After much excited babble about the topic on Thursday and Friday, I wasn’t able to make the 2nd Annual Norcal Grilled Cheese Invitational in Dolores Park. Sigh – eating fail. Did anyone out there make it, and how was it? Who had the winning sandwich?
The Mission webs have been fairly quiet today—guess everyone was eating lots of grilled cheese and NOT blogging. So many showed up, in fact, that most could not get a judge’s wristband. Mission Mission followed the twitter feeds and Flickr posts. There’s also a sweet concert flyer for Commissure, who’s playing Saturday night at the Sub-Mission Art Space on 18th and Mission.
Also, Muni Diaries has been looking at BART’s broken escalators, one of which involved the 24th and Mission station. It does seem like there has been a rash of escalator failures lately, though not quite as bad as the broken escalators and elevators, not to mention constant track repairs, in Washington D.C.’s metro.
I was a Judge and though it was a bit hectic it was also very delicious. I think the garlic and herb bread sammie that came with a slice of orange should have won. I hope that little hippie girl takes it. Great stinky but not too stinky cheese, nice creamy butter and i think the bread was home made. CHEESE!!!
post a winners link, i have to know!!!
Wow the possibility of grilled cheese for dessert never even occurred to me! Imagine. Did everyone who wanted manage to get at least a little bit of sandwich?
Great photos of the event! The winning sandwich looks awesome. And on the others, I’d never even thought of putting cheese on the OUTSIDE of the sandwich…
Grilled Cheese was off the hook! Funk ingredients from mushrooms, to ricotta cheese, to peanut butter and brown sugar… Some of the desserts barely resembled grilled cheese! But it was a glorious day despite the gloomy afternoon.
It was sort of a grilled cheese mob scene trying to get sammiches but well worth the unique experience.
