Waikato competition goes in search of the best cheese toastie
Hi Waikato,
Would you pay $40 for a cheese toastie?
You might do if it came with a lobster tail sat between a golden Volare brioche, buffalo mozzarella, crayfish oil and crispy Vandy bacon crumbs.
The dish is just one of many over 30 Waikato's chefs have let their creative minds run wild for during this year's Meyer Cheese Melt Challenge.
The competition, which sees a reimagining of the classic cheese toastie, is back for its second year and the entries are crazier than ever.
