It’s Leap Year, so there is an extra day of cheesy goodness to savor. A record-breaking 31 restaurants are offering their twist on our favorite comfort food and for each sandwich you purchase, they will donate $2 to FOOD For Lane County.

Check out the 2024 Cheesy Cheat Sheet for the list of restaurants and their mouthwatering offerings.

For added fun and a chance to win some cheesy prizes, pick up a GCE Passport at any participating restaurant or download the passport here. The passport is a great way to keep track of your cheesy journey and earn prizes. When you purchase a sandwich, collect the restaurant sticker for your passport to be eligible for some “gouda” prizes. (see below)

PLEASE NOTE – due to the recent ice storm, restaurants may still be waiting to receive the passport booklets, so print one here to use or save the passport stickers to add to your passport booklet when they are available.

The GCE has had some amazing cheesy “gouda”ness through the restaurants this year!
