Happy Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day!

Celebrate this traditional American holiday with free grilled cheese sandwiches.

By Lizzy Acker

Every single day is some kinda day. It's either First Grade Teacher Day or Pet Gerbil Day or Favorite Parent Day and you are forced to celebrate by posting a picture of your first grade teacher or gerbil or favorite parent on Facebook. Today, however, is a different sort of day. Today, my friends, today is Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.

Which president came up with this most important day? Was it Lincoln? Washington? A Roosevelt? Whoever it was was a golden hearted genius who understood what America really could be at her best: a cheese-loving carbo-paradise.

As you well know, it is an ancient American tradition that on this most illustrious of days, you can walk into any restaurant and demand a grilled cheese sandwich and that establishment is required by the Bible and the Constitution to give it to you for free.

But, on the off-chance that some heretic restaurant manager refuses your request (and always escalate to a manager), Bunk Sandwiches will be prepared. They are giving away free Tillamook Grilled Cheese Sandwiches at their Alberta location (2017 NE Alberta St.) from 11 am to 2 pm.

If you live in the venerable suburb of Vancouver, you can also procure your free grilled cheese from Franz Bakery Outlet (6701 NE Hwy 99, Vancouver, Wash.) from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Go in peace friends. Pizza Day must be around the corner.
