Observed annually on April 12, this food holiday celebrates toasted bread with melted cheese, a simple sandwich enjoyed since the Roman Empire and possibly beyond. Commonly paired with tomato soup.

Primarily celebrated in the USA, this food holiday is observed by food enthusiasts, restaurants, and communities across the country.

Prepare grilled cheese sandwiches at home using traditional or creative recipes, look for special deals at restaurants, or attend special events like the Sacramento Grilled Cheese Festival in California.
