Grilled Cheese tasting at Foodzie

My friends over at Foodzie invited me to a grilled cheese tasting this past week, and I didn’t know what to expect.

It was totally different than the pot-pie tasting I did at Chow last year.

Their startup is a marketplace for high-end artisan food vendors, so they get a lot of free food samples to try. This tasting was to decide if they would ultimately decide to offer some of these ingredients in their store. I was lucky to taste along.

A tradition at Foodzie tasting is to sign your name on a cork. Last week, Kevin Rose was at a tasting, and I got a picture of his cork:

Laura Werlin, aka ““, was fresh off a judging at a grilled cheese contest at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. She brought some of her cookbooks for us, and then told us that it’s okay to put a plate over the grilled cheese to expedite the melting process.

We got right down to building sandwiches after Laura gave us some tips on grilling.

There were so many types of cheese and toppings to choose from.

The table was setup very nicely too.

This was by far my favorite cheese:

My sandwich included pesto truffle oil, two kinds of cheese, a thick slice of bacon, and some experimental salami. It was to die for.

I really enjoyed the tasting and I hope and invite me over for another soon.

    Hi,how are you?I'm a Chinese,so I'm not familiar with your culture. Would you mind to explain it for me a little?
    Do you need to put the cork on the food after you finishing writing your name or just hand it to the holder?

    Next time you should invite me! The extra sharp cheddar cheese looks very good on that sandwich! I think I have a new idea for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
