HOLY CHEESUS, DOES SAN FRANCISCO LOVE GRILLED CHEESE OR WHAT?

DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO THIS YEAR'S EVENT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ENACT SOME CROWD CONTROL MEASURES IN ORDER FOR THE COMPETITION TO BE FAIR FOR ALL. THEREFORE, WE CAN ONLY ALLOW 500 PEOPLE TO JUDGE SAMMICHES. WE ARE GOING TO BE SELLING 500 WRISTBANDS FOR A SUGGESTED DONATION OF $2 EACH AND ONLY THOSE 500 PEOPLE WEARING THE WRISTBANDS WILL BE ABLE TO JUDGE THE COMPETITION.

WE ARE SORRY FOR TAKING THIS ACTION, BUT IT IS REALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE GRILLING GET THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING A GOOD SCORE BASED ON A FAIR AMOUNT OF JUDGES. THIS EVENT IS ENTIRELY A VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT SO PLEASE TRY NOT TO HARSH ON US THAT MUCH. WE ARE DOING THIS FOR THE LOVE THE CHEESE AND THE CRUST.

IF YOU DON'T GET TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S NORCAL GCI, DO NOT WORRY!

THE NEXT ONE WILL BE EVEN BIGGER AND WE WILL HAVE CHEESE FOR EVERYONE.

The Grilled Cheese Invitational is an official competition with prizes awarded for three different categories of Grilled Cheese. All judging is done using standardized ballots and a patented, supercomputer that scientifically tabulates the results to determine the winners. This is a serious competition and only the strong will achieve victory in The Grilled Cheese Invitational, with all the associated bragging rights available therein.

All those looking to compete in the Invitational MUST READ the rules and regulations before they register their sammich.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GRILLED CHEESE CHAMPION?

CAN YOU GRILL LIKE A BUTTERFLY AND STING LIKE A BEE?

DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS?

The 2nd Annual NorCal Regional Grilled Cheese Invitational will be the best thing to happen to San Francisco ever!

Attendees are handed sammiches and rate them accordingly. We then tabulate the results, dispense trophies and wrap ourselves up in the cheese glory!

Awards are determined by audience vote for each sammich.

For the winners, there will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophy awarded in each category. There will also be two Spaz awards that will be given to different sammiches that are the biggest Spazes and mountains of grilled cheese for everybody!

For the NorCal regional competition, the organizers of the GCI have selected three categories of competition, definitions are as follows:

The Missionary Position: Standard bread, standard butter and standard cheese. No additional ingredients or flavorings allowed.

The Kama Sutra: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, and any kind of cheese (or blend of cheeses) plus additional ingredients.

The Honey Pot: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, any kind of cheese (or blend of cheeses), and any additional ingredients, but a sandwich that is sweet in flavor, or would best be served as dessert.

On February 21st, we will part the mighty mountain of fresh-baked loaves, wade knee-deep in the melted cheese and swim eye-high in the butterfat, but only a few, only the proud, the cheesiest, will earn the sacred right to hold a glimmering, golden trophy aloft for all to see and scream to the malignant heavens above: "I am a f@#king grilled cheese champion™!"
