Holiday leftovers: Grilled cheese, anyone?

Why did it take this long for the Miami Herald to do some actual reporting on the so-called Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese sandwich?

And why, oh why, did the same paper succumb to the silliness of having one of its columnists escort the sandwich from Florida to Vegas? Reminds me of what colleague Jeff Jarvis says online and on the air: Journalists are supposed to question conventional wisdom, not spread it.

Perhaps the media conglomerate thinks itself Knight Rider and not Knight Ridder.
