Enter The Grilled Cheese Pageant!

Enter The Grilled Cheese Pageant!

Is your grilled cheese “glitz” or is it more “natural”? Either way, show it off in all its glory in Panini Happy’s first-ever blog event – The Grilled Cheese Pageant!

Win Tom Colicchio's new book - 'wichcraft!April is National Grilled Cheese Month, so to celebrate I thought it would be fun to invite you all to showcase your best grilled cheese sandwiches in a little “pageant” of sorts (can you tell I’ve been watching “Toddlers & Tiaras” on TLC this season?!). It’s not a beauty pageant per se, because as well all know the best tasting stuff often isn’t the prettiest. I’m talking about a taste pageant – whatever type of grilled cheese you like the most, let’s see it!  And because every pageant needs a grand prize – one participant, selected at random, will receive a copy of Tom Colicchio’s (of Top Chef fame) delicious new sandwich cookbook, ‘wichcraft: Craft a sandwich into a meal–and a meal into a sandwich.

How to Enter:

Send an e-mail to panini [DOT] happy [AT] yahoo [DOT] com (ONE entry per person, please!) with the following information by Friday, April 17 at 12 PM PDT:

  • First name
  • Blog name (or hometown if you don’t have a blog)
  • Blog URL (if you have a blog)
  • Recipe post URL, please include a link to this post (if you have a blog)
  • ONE photo of your grilled cheese sandwich, at least 490 px wide
  • A one-line description of your sandwich

I’ll post a roundup of all the submissions on Monday, April 20. And, yes, I’ll ship internationally on this one so it’s open to all. Have fun with this – can’t wait to see your grilled cheese!

FOOD BLOGGERS: You can feel free – but are not at all obligated – to display either of the following badges in your blog post:

    You are so cute! This made me laugh out loud! The grilled cheese sandwich is one Americanism my boys have taken to 100%, but just that simple, good old American grilled cheese with processed American (which we do find in France!). But I guess I’ll have to try a more gussied up one for this brilliant challenge!
