Armed with friends' comments on a Facebook post, previous taste test survey results & advice from a SCORE mentor, I went to work on a "New & Improved" menu. I focused on jazzing up my grilled cheese lineup with some tasty combinations & catchy names to make it easier for testers to recall. I was determined to blow people away with my creations.
After over a week of experimenting on nothing more than a frying pan & an electric range, I was able to come up with nine sandwiches that were very different from one another. I modified my first survey & printed out my new lineup on the opposite side of the paper.
I asked to borrow my neighbors propane grill to save time & crank out the grilled cheeses. It would save me time & I could see if it was indeed any better or worse than using charcoal, taste-wise.
To get more feedback, I got on the horn & called a few friends that I knew from watching the Chicago Bears every week at Sunshine Company. The guest list was set to be more than double than the last survey party.
The stage was set, groceries purchased & new surveys/menus printed out. Here's what that original San Diego nine looked like:
