Registration for this year's 8th annual Grilled Cheese Invitational doesn't start until April 1, and the tbd location will be broadcasted later this month. Tix cost a mere $10, though they must be purchased in advance (note to self) and the first 1,500 people to buy tickets online can sign up to be judges. Other vital information: there will be a beer and wine garden with up to four breweries and four wineries, Tillamook has climbed aboard as a sponsor, and this year there's a separate division solely for professional chefs (a perfect place for Eric Greenspan to try out combinations for his forthcoming grilled cheesery).
