Chow Grilled Cheese + Beer = Love

onThe third annual Seattle Cheese Festival officially starts tomorrow (a little background on CheeseFest I and Cheesefest II here), but tonight at Union: different delicious grilled cheese sandwiches (made with Beecher’s cheeses of Pike Place Market) paired with different delicious beers.

Oh man fuck you guys, now the place is gonna be swamped.
Dammit.
I know, this sounds like heaven.
(Obesity-creating heaven....the best kind.)
I have fallen in love with a Slog post, and this is it; I can't wait to be penetrated by grilled cheese and beer later today.
Beechers Flagship grilled cheese sammiches are super yumby!
Is Cheese Fest free? I can't find any pricing info on their website.
hm - beer and grilled cheese. i do love a good grilled cheese, but i'm hooked on the bottleneck's bloody mary- grilled cheese combo
wow, eight bucks for a grilled cheese and beer, all in a snotty environment. what a bargain!
I'm gonna skip the see-and-be-scene @Union tonight and make my own sandwich/beer combo. At my estimated total cost of $2, the price is right... AND I get to watch Jeopardy while I eat.
Damn, I'll be standing in line to see Miranda July - any chance Union delivers?
Vis-a-vis pricing: suggested donation of $1 to taste more than 250 cheeses in the
Market, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Seattle Cheese Festival Scholarship Fund for aspiring cheesemakers who want to study at the Washington State University Creamery (CREAMERY: Pullman's never sounded so good). Wine garden and seminars at additional $.
