Cheese lovers everywhere are invited to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto to take in Dairy Farmers of Canada's Grate Canadian Grilled Cheese Cook-Off. Four top chefs from across Canada will each prepare two original, mouthwatering grilled cheese recipes, which will be judged by a panel of Canada's leading food writers that includes Lucy Waverman, Rita DeMontis and Corey Mintz.

Chef Melissa Craig from The Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler, BC and named one of Tidings Magazine's Maverick Chefs, BC, Chef Corbin Tomaszeski of Holt's Café in Toronto, ON, Chef Michael Howell from The Tempest Restaurant in Wolfville, NS and Chef Paul Rogalski from Rouge Restaurant in Calgary, AB. All four chefs will be battling it out to see whose grilled cheese creation will be judged the "gratest". The best part? Following the competition, grilled cheese samples will be served to the crowd.

Make your way to the EX (Canadian National Exhibition) today. The event will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the "All You Need Is Cheese" exhibit at the CNE Direct Energy Centre Hall A. While you're there, take the time to sample all of the different types of cheese made across Canada.
