2008 – 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational – Results! :: The Grilled Cheese Invitational

2008 – 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational – Results!

logo

The 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational was held in Griffith Park on April 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, America.  By far the largest Grilled Cheese Invitational to date, the 1st 6th Annual saw 126 competitors compete for a crowd of 1,500.

Thanks to the good folks at Kraft Singles™, we had more cheese there than ever before with literally thousands of hot, fresh and free sammiches given out to the hungry masses.  Competition for this event was by far our most exciting ever, with sammich runners getting the awaiting judges riled up in an unbridled fury for the cheese.

Some photos of the event:

ALL RESULTS ARE TABULATED USING A TOP-SECRET FORMULA THAT WEIGHS AND MEASURES EACH INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY AND THEN COMBIES THEM TO DELIVER AN OVERAL SCORE. WE DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO GET INTO IT HERE, BUT TRUST US, IT IS FAIRLY COMPLEX AND TERRIBLY CONFUSING.

CHEESY VIDEO OF THE WEEK

About

The Grilled Cheese Invitational (GCI) is the largest, craziest, and most exciting Grilled Cheese cooking contest in the country and is the best thing to happen to sliced cheese since sliced bread! The GCI promotes an almost scary pursuit of perfection in a Grilled Cheese Sammich and allows for amateur and professional chefs to compete side-by-side in the hopes of becoming a true Grilled Cheese Champion.

The event was created by Tim Walker in 2003, in an artist loft in Downtown Los Angeles as a competition between friends and since then, has grown into a national movement dedicated to perfecting the art of grilled cheese, with thousands of cheese fiends and regional competitions across the country.
