GCI 2011:

What's in a name? Many, many syllables when it comes to “Royal Princess Cheddarella Regiano” or “Did you jam your cheesecake in to my sandwich?” These were two of the more elaborately named winners in this year's Grilled Cheese Invitational, where sandwiches like “Pelian's Lament (#2)” and “Something To Lime Home About” are par for the course.

Amid the hundreds of contenders last Saturday, the Royal Princess took 4th place in Missionary (Amateur) and the Cheesecake took 1st place in the Honey Pot (Professional). But when it comes to monikers, whether lyrical, punny or profane, they had plenty of competition — from “Something to Lime Home About,” “MikeDeese Grilled Cheese,” “Don't Make Wet My Box” and “Hooker's Delight,” which gets its raunchy name from Hook's 10-year cheddar.

Full list of winners after jump including the expanding professional division, where the competition was fiercer than ever but The Oaks Gourmet Market, The Standard, Daily Dose, Kitchen 24 and, naturally, The Grilled Cheese Truck made a fine showing.
