An Australian grilled cheese maker called Jafflechutes, a name that I'll address with much concern later in this post, has succeeded in crowdfunding their parachute-based grilled cheese operation for a visit to New York, as soon as this month.

A prominent startup founder dramatically unveiled a grilled cheese sandwich at the Wall Street Journal-affiliated "D" conference today and announced that a leading venture firm put upwards of $10 million into the cheese and bread combination. No, really.

They had uniforms and cheerleaders, diamonds and $551 of ingredients-but did they have what it takes to win the 1st 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational? Like Rob says, "it's not just about lookin' good, it's about cookin' good."
