Grilled Cheese Launches Nationwide Tour
Last Update: 2/17/2005 1:43:50 PM



The possibly miraculous grilled-cheese sandwich arrived in San Francisco this week, accompanied by bodyguards.

It will only be in the city through the weekend; the sandwich has prior commitments and cannot long remain.

"We're excited to have it," said Ian Iljas, manager of the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, which is hosting the sandwich during its visit.

Banners hung from the museum entrance. The eyes of the bug-eyed wax man seemed to bug out just a bit more as the sandwich was unveiled in a prime location, next to the 2-foot-wide ball of string and the vampire-killing kit.

The sandwich is said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary in its grill marks. It was cooked 10 years ago by a Florida woman, who sold it in November to an Internet casino for $28,000. The casino took the sandwich on a nationwide tour, out of the goodness of its heart.

"People need to find spirituality these days," said Eric Amgar, the sandwich's advance man. "There's nothing wrong with helping them to do that."
