Grilled Cheese Fest Toronto
Roy Thomson Hall is opening its doors to Torontonians to enjoy all you can eat of the best comfort food — gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. For $39.99 per person, you can sample a variety of sandwiches from specialty vendors across the city, enjoy some soup to accompany your sandwiches, and receive three drink tickets for locally brewed beer or non-alcoholic beverages.
And these aren't your white-bread-and-Kraft-slices kind of grilled cheese sandwiches. You can look forward to some of the best innovative combinations of fresh ingredients between specially selected breads. For instance, try the kimchi, sweet soy pork, lotus chips, cilantro, and fontina cheese sandwich on light rye bread. Or sample St. John's Bakery's organic bread, two-year-old cow cheddar from Ontario Dairy, and caramelized onion chutney with organic butter.
It’s going to be a fun foodie event for an inside look at the best comfort food this city has to offer. For information and to buy tickets, visit this website.
