Tomorrow (which is National Grilled Cheese Day here in the land of fake holidays), Artisanal will host its Third Annual Grilled Cheese Contest. While there won't be a Salted Caramel Lobster Grilled Cheese on the offering plate, you can attend and taste a variety of takes on the grilled cheese.
At the end of the event, one winner will be declared by a panel of judges, which for some reason includes Chris "Mr. Big" Noth. But will it be better than your mom's simple white bread, butter and American cheese grilled-to-perfection work of art from your youth? Probably not.
Tickets for the event—taking place from 3 to 5 p.m. at 44 East 32nd Street on Friday—are still available and cost just $15. Did we mention you'll also get sparkling wine and live music by a band called The Ramps that we really hope are named after ramps?
