The 2nd Annual NorCal Regional Grilled Cheese Invitational was held this past Saturday at Dolores Park. The air was electric … and full of the intoxicating scent of sizzling butter and bread.

We successfully fed 25 guests on $250, cooking up an array of tasty hors d’oeuvres. I mean, who doesn’t love appies? They’re usually the best part of the meal anyway. Plus, they’re perfect for large parties. They’re unassuming, filling, and allow people to mill around and chat while noshing on bite-sized bits of delicious.
