The best things in life are brie! Last week we celebrated our 13th Annual Grilled Cheese Smackdown at our HQ in Santa Barbara where Toad families, friends, and local non-profit orgs step up to the plate with their cheesiest, most inventive recipes to share. Rain or shine (in this year's case, unexpected rain), it's always a fun time to get together with our local community. 

Technically everybody wins since the actual goal is to raise funds for the Organic Soup Kitchen, but this year Freedom 4 Youth took home the coveted Golden Spatula Award (for the second year in a row!) with their delicious creation "Mango Tango". 

First, catch up on the definitive history of the Toad&Co Grilled Cheese Smackdown here. 

Then, check out this amazing winning recipe. Our promise if you choose to try it out: It's darn delicious.

Start with french bread. Add Brie, French Gruyere and American cheeses until they're niiice and melty. Top with mango, sweet basil, and sprouts. Chef's kiss.
