See our calendar below for FOOD For Lane County and partner events in Lane County.
This is truly a deluxe edition with a record-breaking 48 restaurants offering their twists on our favorite comfort food! For each sandwich you purchase, the restaurants will donate $2.00 to FOOD For Lane County.

For added fun and a chance to win some cheesy prizes, pick up a GCE Passport at any participating restaurant or download the passport. (Passport coming soon!)
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)
Plus, join the group “Grilled Cheese Experience FFLC” on Facebook and Instagram to keep up on the latest information, chances to win extra prizes, and postings about Cheesy Royalty sightings which can earn additional passport stickers.
