It was a day full of cheesy goodness for five members of the media who came out to judge the best grilled cheese sandwiches Armstrong has to offer.
And by the time the tour of eight Armstrong establishments was over Friday, March 31, the judges were stuffed to the gills 91裸聊视频� in the best way possible.
The five judges included Cam Luckock of Your Country News, Brian Martin and Rebecca Barton of Beach Radio, Heather Black of the Okanagan Advertiser and, for the first time, Brendan Shykora of the Vernon Morning Star.
Together, they named Farmstrong Cider Company91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频楩armstrong Dill-icious91裸聊视频� the Media91裸聊视频檚 Choice winner of the 10th annual Armstrong Professional Grilled Cheese Sandwich Competition.
True to its name, the winning sandwich featured dill butter grilled into the bread and fresh dill on top. Between two pieces of sourdough loaf from Askew91裸聊视频檚 in Armstrong, there was aged cheddar, Havarti and mozzarella (all 100 per cent Canadian), double-smoked bacon, diced pickles and pickled onions.
The Farmstrong sandwich scored an impressive 115 points out of a possible 120, beating out second place by a mere two points, which illustrates how difficult the judges91裸聊视频� task was in choosing the best grilled cheese.
Farmstrong earned the Media91裸聊视频檚 Choice nod in its first time taking part in the competition.
Coming in second place was the Wild Oak Caf茅91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频楾he Mulberry91裸聊视频� sandwich, which featured fig jam, black pepper bacon, brie, Gouda and mozzarella cheese on rye sourdough.
In third place was the first stop on the tour, Village Cheese, which produced a mouth-watering 91裸聊视频楧ilicious Grilled Cheese.91裸聊视频� Like the Farmstrong sandwich, dill was the not-so-secret ingredient, and made for a subtle but noticeable dill flavour profile. The sandwich featured red onions and cheddar with a salami 91裸聊视频榝lower91裸聊视频� on the side 91裸聊视频� a nice artistic touch.
91裸聊视频淚 thought it was really creative, the variety of ingredients was incredible, and everything was delicious,91裸聊视频� Black said.
Black added her personal favourite was the offering by PV BLVD, the 91裸聊视频楤LVD Grilled Cheese,91裸聊视频� which featured Mediterranean flavours with feta, sundried tomatoes and local cheese on local sourdough.
91裸聊视频淭he feta just kicked it up a notch,91裸聊视频� Black said, adding her close second was the Farmstrong sandwich.
