# Gooey Grilled Cheese-Themed Gatherings Stuff Your Face at Joylister’s Toronto Grilled Cheese By Erin Kirkpatrick | Published 2014-02-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toronto-grilled-cheese-fest References: [torontogrilledcheesefest](http://www.torontogrilledcheesefest.com) If you’re a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, then Joylister’s Toronto Grilled Cheese Fest on February 28th, 2014 is an event worth attending. You’ve probably always dreamed of an event where you could indulge in an all-you-can-eat selection of scrumptious, [gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-restaurant) and piping-hot soups. That dream is now a reality and tickets are only $40. Not to mention, there are also a variety of craft beer samples you can enjoy alongside the event’s endless supply of ooey gooey comfort food. It might be a good idea to wear slightly loose clothing or stretchy pants for this event hosted by Toronto-based start-up Joylister at Roy Thompson Hall. In August 2013, this same start-up company hosted Toronto’s first ever Poutine Fest, which was one of the summer’s most popular events. Prepare your palate because Toronto’s Top Grilled Cheese Masters have joined forces with Joylister for the Toronto Grilled Cheese Fest to bring you closer to that cheesy, melted creation that is the glorious grilled cheese sandwich. If you’re looking for a place in Toronto to express your love for cheese-smothered sandwiches, the search is now over.
