This Contest is Really Cheesey — No, really, it is

It’s kind of difficult to out-hype the following press release, so here it is in all of its glory:

Four Years and Still Cooking! The Tillamook Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Contest is Back

Think you have what it takes to become the next “Big Cheese”? Tillamook Cheese today announced the acceptance of recipe submissions for the fourth annual Tillamook Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Contest. The contest dedicated to an all-time favorite comfort food continues to evolve, and returns this year with a twist, giving amateur food lovers a chance to win $5,000 in the national cook-off and $2,500 in the “People’s Choice” online voting campaign.

This year foodies from across the country will have the opportunity to submit their homemade macaroni and cheese recipes on the contest’s new Web site, www.MacaroniAndCheeseAndCheese.com/contest. Finalists will compete for the 2008 title, $5,000 cash and 25 pounds of Tillamook cheese. Not to worry, the first runner up will receive $2,000 cash and 20 pounds of Tillamook cheese and the second runner up will receive $1,000 cash and 15 pounds of Tillamook cheese.

That’s a lot of cheese. We will say, however, that we came across a site by the Cheese-Chick.com that has very cool Tillamook cheese interview video.
