The Melt Truck menu is as simple yet elegant as the truck's appearance. Okay, so I guess this is turning into a commerical, but really I have no complaints about this small treasure. Scratch that, I have one. It only operates four days a week for about three hours, and they often run out of stuff way before the three hours has passed. Yes, it is just that good and that popular. Last time I went, they had the usual Triple Melt with white cheddar, gouda, and gruyere. It is a fantastic base, delicious on it's own. But then there are the specials. This weeks were the pastrami with spicy mustard. Chorizo and grilled chard. Olive tapenade with tomato and basil. An insane two sandwich deal with a high quality beef patty squeezed in between called the Melt of Shame. So you see why the grill cheese is the world's most brilliant sandwich. It's simplicity leaves room for countless mouth-watering variations. My chin is dripping with saliva just thinking about this stuff.
Anyway, if you get to Oahu any time soon, make a well worth it trip to the Melt Truck. If I ever magically get a surplus of money, I may be opening my own grilled cheese truck somewhere some day. I can dream, can't I? Until then, at least I have the melt truck to keep my cravings in check.
MMM, good! Glad that there is something out that was to help get past the mundane day-to-day stuff. I know that when I visited the Grilled Cheese truck in LA, I enjoyed the BBQ pulled pork, mac n cheese and carmelized onions on the sandwich, and it looks like the Melt Truck has furthered the tasty add-ins! Time for you to figure out how to merge the scampi truck and the Melt truck. Or maybe Kahlua Pork and cheese! Time for you to change the face of the Hawaiian plate lunch...
ReplyDeleteOh Kev... The lunch truck scene is something to see. Choices galore and consistently good. Only real problem is they are pretty pricey...
