Classic or “Mad Scientist”? America’s favorite grilled cheese is up for debate

Feb 27, 2026, 12:19 PM

Everybody loves grilled cheese!  But, “grilled cheese” can mean a lot of different things these days.  Borden Cheese is the question “what makes the perfect grilled cheese?” Cheese lovers across America, this is your chance to vote for “America’s Favorite Grilled Cheese.” And the choices are… kind of amazing.   

Here are the four contenders 

1) “The classic” – Melted cheese between buttery white bread. Simple. Comforting. Iconic. 

2) “The spicy big dill” – Hot and spicy pickles, whipped cream cheese and ranch seasoning. 

3) “The crispy onion and barbecue” –  Fried onion strings plus tangy BBQ sauce. Crunchy, smoky, and definitely not shy. 

4) “The mad scientist” –  The bread is swapped for cheesy waffles, then stuffed with layers of cheese. 

When you vote, you’ll also be entered for a chance to win a year’s supply of Borden Cheese. Honestly, that feels like the kind of prize we can all get behind.   You can cast your vote using Borden Cheese’s submission form . The winning sandwich will be announced on April 12, which, by the way, is National Grilled Cheese Day! 

So, the big question is… what are you picking?
