Say Cheese 2026

All March long, participating restaurants are serving up creative grilled cheese specials in a friendly competition for the title of “Best Grilled Cheese in Grants Pass“! This ooey-gooey fundraiser includes restaurants all throughout Grants Pass and the surrounding area, each with a distinct and delicious cheesy creation.

This year is the most exciting yet, with 30 restaurants offering their take on our favorite sandwich! The best part? $2 from every sandwich goes to fight hunger in Josephine County— equaling 4 meals for our friends and neighbors in need.

At the end of the month, the restaurant that sells the most sandwiches will earn bragging rights as having the “Best Grilled Cheese in Grants Pass” and win the coveted Golden Grilled Cheese trophy. You can also vote for three additional best of categories: “Most Unique“, “Most Gourmet“, and “Cheesiest“!

Support local restaurants. Support local families. Say Cheese!

Want to join the fun? You can win prizes just by eating grilled cheese!
