Grilled Cheese Invitational-An American Classic





Earlier this year I came upon The Grilled Cheese Invitational, totally by accident. Who doesn't love grilled cheese and more over, who wouldn't be ecstatic to attend such an event?! By the time I explained this commemorate occasion to my boyfriend, he practically catapulted me into the car and off we went! When we arrived we were pretty stunned, tons of cheese, tons of people and I'm pretty sure I got a contact high from the grilled butter. Did I mention tons more cheese? On the down side, many of the vendors had run out of food and the line for the famous grilled cheese truck seemed infinite and we had to pass. 
See all the people to the right? That was only part of the line, it wraps up and around! 
Here are some fun pics of our day...









Nobody likes to say goodbye...

Though it was disheartening to part ways, we knew that there would always be next year! Make sure to keep tabs on this regale;  you don't want to miss out, we promise. 

There was a happy ending to the departure. Since the location was close to The Grove , we didn't end the merrymaking at Tilamook. We had an after party at the farmers market and walked off some of that cheesy deliciousness. Only to find that there was still more cheese to be eaten. At the end of the night, we were a little bit "feta" but a lot a bit happier...
