Last weekend, thousands of people and two hundred competitors gathered in downtown Los Angeles for the 2nd 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational. The event has four categories and both amateurs and professionals, like our friends at the Grilled Cheese Truck, can compete to make the best grilled cheese sandwich ever.

The amateur winner of the American-style category is Ryan Bentz. Ryan created the winning sandwich with the help of his "excellently skilled" mom. Their sandwich, dubbed America, The Sandwich, had to feature classic grilled cheese ingredients: bread, orange cheese, and butter.

To find out what Bentz had to say about the experience and his win, keep reading.

Do you make a mean grilled cheese sandwich? Think you've got what it takes to win the Annual National Grilled Cheese Invitational? Well then you better hurry: Registration ends this Sunday, April 13.

The annual melted cheese event is being held this year in Los Angeles on April 19. There will be up to 100 competitors vying for title of the big cheese. If you're not a sandwich maker, then show up and instantly become part of the judging panel. The sandwiches are handed out to the audience, who then vote for their faves. The categories are: Missionary (white bread, orange cheese, and butter), Spoons (any bread, butter, cheese), Kama Sutra (any bread, butter, cheese, and other ingredients), and Honey Pot (same as Kama Sutra, but sweet).

Event founder and organizer Tim Walker said:

The 1st 6th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational will be mankind's greatest achievement since the invention of fire! This year we will have more cheese than ever before. More competitors, more sammiches, more everything!

It sounds like it's going to be a fantastic cheese voyage. If I lived in the area, I would definitely find a way to attend. How about you? Are you going to go to the Grilled Cheese Invitational?
