Grilled Cheese Fest

  • Roy Thomson Hall (60 Simcoe Street)
  • Friday, February 28
  • 5:30 p.m.–10 p.m.
  • $40

Does facing down all the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches you can eat sound appealing? Especially if they’re paired with samples of craft beer, and unlimited soup? The Grilled Cheese Fest is being produced by Joylister and features new and signature creations by local restos like Cheeseworks, MELT, Gorilla Cheese, and more. If you’re a fan of simple fare made well, you should be able to manage several charges at the different serving stations over the course of nearly five hours of feasting.


The first annual Grilled Cheese Fest is now sold out, but there’s something that might still be able to get you in the door and on your way to cheesy deliciousness: a contest! That’s right—we have six pairs of tickets to give away. All you have to do is post a comment below before midnight on February 18, and you might find yourself headed for grilled cheese sandwich bliss. Winners will be randomly selected and must be over 19 years of age. We will contact you soon if Grilled Cheese Fest is in your future!

UPDATE: The contest has now closed, and we have contacted the lucky winners. If you weren’t one of them, we wish you good cheese luck in future contests!
