Love me Tillamook Cheese and it does taste great when you fry up a good ole cheese sandwich. Hmm Good.. Besides that I do use it for almost everything.

I make and eat grilled Tillamook cheese sandwiches almost every day! However, I’m not a vidio maker–just a cook and eater, so I guess I’ll have to pass this contest up.

Frances – the videos don’t have to be of professional quality, so give it a try if you’d like :)
Javier – we’d love for you to enter the contest with your grilled cheese nirvana!! Please do!
Merry – yes, you can add whatever you’d like to the sandwich. It just has to include at least one type of Tillamook Cheese.
Richard – glad you found us in Houston! Enjoy :)

This sounds awesome! The only problem is I’ve called almost every store in Manhattan and can only find your cheddar. Do you know of any places up here that have any other types of your wonderful Tillamook cheese? I can’t wait to make my video!
April 9th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Tara – just one question… to make my grilled cheespecial I need the Tillamook garlic cheese – and cannot find it ANYWHERE near me. How can I get some ( I am in Montana) and when is the deadline to enter the contest?

When do the entries have to be submitted?
April 11th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Chef James – we’re accepting entries until the 14th (this Thursday)… hope you enter!

GCSocial – We received your video! I think the Tillamook Sharp Cheddar you used in your sandwich was a good choice :)
Janet – The deadline to enter the contest is this Thursday, April 14. It’s a little tough for me to know which stores carry our specific products since we sell our products through distributors, but I think you’re probably going to have a tough time finding our garlic cheddar in Montana. Do you have any Fred Meyer stores near you? They might carry this cheese in their deli section. I would call first to ask though. Is there any other way you could add garlic to the sandwich?
