Alright. Wrapping up the week here, waiting for Oscar to take the decks and spin the new Dead Weather Sea of Cowards LP online here and getting a little thirsty. It is Derby weekend after all, so let’s see if we can whip up a Mint Julep from what we have on hand:

The people behind the Grilled Cheese Truck summed up the 1st 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational perfectly: “This… is like Christmas.”
The throwdown, which started humbly back in 2003 in founder Tim Walker’s downtown loft, took over Los Angeles Center Studios this past Saturday for six hours of fun, sun and grilled cheese. An estimated seven thousand grilled cheese-loving attendees tasted the best in bread-butter-cheese in three categories: Missionary (traditional ingredients), Kama Sutra (at least 60 percent cheese) and Honey Pot (more of a dessert grilled cheese). There were also grilled cheeses for sale from some of LA’s top cheesers, including Eric Greenspan and Mark Peel.
To be completely honest, the sandwiches from both the pros and the amateurs were amazing. I actually found myself unable to determine which were the best because they all reminded me of a better version of what my mom used to make. Sorry, Mom…
Like usual though, I do have some thoughts. Here are the good and the bad of the 8th G.C.I….
THE GOOD
–The Professional Grilled Cheeses. Seriously, they were very, very good. In the professional competition, Mark Peel’s (Campanile, Tar Pit) very basic grilled cheese with onions and whole grain mustard was incredibly tasty. The same could be said of Eric Greenspan’s (The Foundry and the upcoming Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese) apple chutney and pastrami sandwich.
–Amateur Hour. This is obviously the heart and soul of the G.C.I. Hundreds of locals competed in the three categories and pumped out some amazing grilled cheeses. Some of the favorites: Granny & Gorgonzola (gorgonzola, apples and ginger snaps), the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills’ duck prosciutto sandwich, the People Who Don’t Hate Fun’s Frito and chili grilled cheese and a grilled cheese with macaroni and cheese grilled inside.
Continues with full photo gallery below.
