Grilled Cheese and Bacon Throw Down - Win a Cookbook!
A challenge was issued and has been answered. Now we shall finally know which Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich is best, and you, dear readers will make that determination. If you don’t know the backstory you can go to my earlier post in which I challenged Jenn’s impertinent additon of Miracle Whip to the perfect Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich. While we waited for Jenn’s reply, Charlotte chimed in with her own “version” of the masterpiece (Hah! There are no “versions.” There are only my way the correct way and inferior imitations.) I am supremely confident that when the dust has settled you will have all come to the same conclusion. You are invited to be a judge in the Throw Down.
The Rules:1. Go to each of the recipe links:
Jenn: How Do You Make a Grilled Cheese?
Charlotte: Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich
Skeet: Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich Illustrated
2. Make the sandwiches.
3. Write a post about your experience and name the recipe that you think is best.
4. Go to all three contest announcements and give a link to your post in the comments for each one: (I’ll link the other contest posts as soon as they’re up.)
Jenn: A Contest and a Challenge - Win a Cookbook
Charlotte: the Best Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich - Win a Cookbook
Skeet: This post that you are currently reading.
Deadline:
You must complete the process by posting your comments to each of our blogs by midnight EST on Sunday, November 4th.
Prizes:
Charlotte, Jenn and Skeet will each draw a name from among the entrants and will reward a cookbook to that lucky winner. Bonus! Want an extra entry? When you write your post, include a picture of at least one of the sandwiches you made.
Eligibility:
The contest is open to anyone with a US or Canadian mailing address. We have nothing against the rest of you, but postage, taxes and customs requirements could turn this into a major hassle instead of a fun contest.
Are we clear? Let the cooking begin!
I’ve already selected a cookbook to award to one lucky winner. Island Cooks is a collection of the recipes for the foods we eat in Hawaii. Jenn and Charlotte will each select cookbooks related either to their regions or to the contest, so that’s three great cookbooks up for grabs. My blog uses the do-follow plug-in, so you’ll get a link from skeet’s stuff just for entering. Let’s review the benefits you’ll gain from entering the contest:
1. You’ll learn the proper way to make a Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwich.
2. You’ll have a chance to win a free cookbook (two chances if you post a photo!)
3. You’ll get a linkback from my fabulous PR4 blog.
4. You can attend this recipe roundup without having to dress up in horse riding apparel.
5. You’ll be able to win friends and influence people with your amazing Grilled Cheese and Bacon sandwiches.
Now wouldn’t you agree that it’s a winning situation all around? Well, what are you waiting for? Get cooking!

Just choose mine, Corrin– you won’t need bacon at all!

Don’t listen to Jennifer, Corrin. Make your bacon the old-fashioned way if the bacon-cooker doesn’t come in time.
October 24th, 2007 at 12:21 pm, skeet Says:
Whim, just make each sandwich yourself. The readers are the taste-testers!

Ha! Sez you, Ms. Jennifer! Just you wait. You’ll see that the original is best! You and Charlotte don’t have a chance of winning this one. Matter of fact, maybe we should just cancel the Throw Down and declare me the winner.
