Grater Grilled Cheese Hosts EPIC Grilled Cheese Eating Competition

January 20 marks National Cheese Lover’s Day and the pros at Grater Grilled Cheese are celebrating with a Grilled Cheese Eating Competition of EPIC proportions!

It’s the Golden Ticket!

Four, brave contestants will face up against competitive eater, Raina Huang for a chance to win the Grater Grilled Cheese Golden Ticket. Raina Huang is a Los Angeles-based competitive eater known for tackling larger-than-life food challenges, including eating an entire 50×50 In-N-Out Burger in one sitting as well as the entire menu of Panda Express.

With ten minutes to chow down on 15 ‘Basic 5’ Grilled Cheese sandwiches, featuring five slices of all-natural, unprocessed Colby, Swiss, Monterrey, Provolone and Cheddar cheese served on buttery, sourdough bread – the competition is sure to be one for the books.

Win The Golden Ticket!

The winner of this competition will receive the Golden Ticket, granting one free grilled cheese per month for the entire year – sweet dreams really are made of cheese! Whether you’re interested in participating or simply spectating the event, make sure to celebrate National Cheese Lover’s Day to the fullest by trying some of the eatery’s cheesiest creations.

Do you have what it takes to take down Raina Huang?
