Orange cheese, white bread, and butter are the essential layers that underpin an American comfort food classic like the Grilled Cheese. It has been a pillar of kid’s menus across the land, forever paired with tomato soup, and has grown into a food truck sensation. The Grilled Cheese sandwich has gone from mundane to gourmet in large part due to a festival that honors its gooey existence with an annual Grilled Cheese Invitational, a Grilled Cheese Sammich cooking competition. This Saturday, April 12th get outside the bubble for what will be the final Grilled Cheese Invitational ever to be held at at Los Angeles Center Studios in downtown Los Angeles from 11:00a.m. to 6:00p.m. Be a part of cheese history this weekend in Downtown LA! Tickets to the event range between $15 to $25.
Below are a list of South Bay Events happening around the beach cities. Enjoy the weekend!

SB Suds: Book & Brews Event Explores History & Tastes Beer The craft beer movement is forever evolving around here in the South Bay (and beyond), El Segundo Brewery’s Citra Pale on tap at Dodger Stadium, bottles of Strand Brewery’s 24th Street Pale Ale available at Costco’s Torrance location, and a female owned brewery, Three Weav3rs Brewing Co. looks to kickstarter to raise funds for a brewery in Inglewood. All very capitalistic and crafty strategies that push the fruits of craft beer closer to the consumer.
