Grilled Cheese + Beer = Love

posted by on May 17 at 11:30 AM

The 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. Also on hand: the world’s foremost authority on grilled cheese (one assumes), Laura Werlin, author of Great Grilled Cheese: 50 Innovative Recipes for Stovetop, Grill and Sandwich Maker.

I know, this sounds like heaven.

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.

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.

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 $.
