Executive judging LA’s annual Grilled Cheese Invitational is very akin to being tossed in a boxing ring with heavyweight opponents in every corner, simultaneously pounding you with cheese, butter and bread haymaker after cheese, butter and bread haymaker. Coupled with the 90 degree Pasadena heat, almost every blow lands with aplomb.
But, hey, someone’s got to do it, right?
And for the second year in a row I represented you fair Los Anjealenos in the city’s most decadent/delicious/stomach-churning eating festival. A whole afternoon dedicated to the celebration of all that is the wondrous combination of bread, butter and cheese (and, in many cases, pretty much anything else you could squeeze in between).
Like most competitions, when you get to the tenth such event, things start to get a little weird. Not to say the GCI wasn’t already rather odd – cheese haikus, anyone? However, to truly stick out in the 10th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational, Joe and Joan Homemaker and Chef Grilled Cheese from That Restaurant That Has an Awesome Grilled Cheese, really had to think outside the box to separate their gooey goodness from the crowd. This lead to some amazing grilled cheeses made of homemade pretzel bread, exotic cheeses, house-cured duck bacon, caviar and spicy macaroni & cheese. Someone even decided to include a candied $5 bill with their judges’ sandwiches!
Let it be known though: this judge could not be bought. After sampling over 50 grilled cheese masterpieces in my two assigned heats, there were some clear Los Anjealous favorites. I will tell you about them…
wait for it…
wait…
for…
it….
NOW.

Stop the presses! Stop those presses, sez I!!! EM-EFFING STOP THEM RIGHT GODDAMNED NOW!!! [Breathless, air-sucking pause.] Enormous, shocking news has been unearthed by DF’s tireless journalistic efforts: You may have heard of an obscure book and a related, low-budget indie film called “The Hunger Games.” It features the delightful story of a band of merrie children who are conscripted in a futuristic hellscape to murder each other for public sport.
Well, I’m here to tell you the shocking news that the “Hunger Games” is NOT REAL! That’s right, I’m sure all of you (like DF) assumed that the book was a real-world expose, set in some actual, earthly hellscape like Turkmenistan or New Jersey, and that the film was a documentary reporting on these disturbing yet also very entertaining goings-on. But the author and production company pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes, and DF is speaking truth to power by exposing another bald-faced content industry LIE!!!! [In fact, the Hunger Games book and film were unambiguously billed as fictional, and were well understood as such by all but our well-meaning but slightly slow-on-the-uptake in-house roller derby correspondent.—ed.]
Now as you’re digesting this enormous news, you like me may find it disappointing, and wonder what could possibly substitute for getting to see live and in person adolescent bloodsport? Well, fortunately there’s an answer, Losanj readers, and it’s ROLLER DERBY. In fact, there are many reasons that roller derby is actually better than a real-life Hunger Games. DF submits for your considerazione:
First: no one actually dies in roller derby. Sure, el derby has more than its fair share of violence, but it’s of the sanctioned, sport-legal sort, and thus represents the best of both worlds. You get to cheer for the hip-checks and the badass blocks and whatnot, but at the end of the day everyone nurses their dings and lives to fight another day. And isn’t that really better than outright mortal slaughter? (NB: If your answer to that question was “no”, then perhaps consider whether you’re a psychopath who’d be well suited for voluntary civil commitment.)
