| - "How great can a grilled cheese truck possibly be? I mean, bread and cheese isn't that hard to do. And what's with the ridiculous spelling?!" Yeah, so that was before I tried this spot. I was wrong. I admit it. The wacky takes on grilled cheese sandwiches are inventive without trying too hard, and offer something for every taste. If Ludacris can do it, I guess it's okay for these guys. Plus, pun!
Finally found this truck at the Third Thursday event on my side of town- staff friendliness totally made my visit, though the Yelp check-in deal (free drink!) is pretty cool too. The menu is limited but has several sandwich options, as well as an app, a special, and a combo deal, and canned/bottled beverages.
The sweet lady taking orders was welcoming and positive, talked me through the menu and made her own recommendations. I was torn between two sandos, and she let me know I could half-and-half if to try two for $5. I added on the mac and cheese egg rolls too, because duh.
THREE WAY PARLAY: Their take on a classic grilled cheese, with three kinds of cheese and parmesan crusted bread. Oozing, gooey, deliciousness. The simplicity went perfectly with their parmesan wonton fries. Odd combo, but one that works.
THE HANGOVER: Pretzel sliders, bro. Topped with drunken onions, grilled summer sausage, and pepper jack cheese, served with their special beer cheese spread (which I'd like to buy in bulk). This wasn't my favorite thing, but my BF really liked the meat and hints of spice. Reminded me of a pub burger. The onions and cheese sauce were my favorite parts.
DADDYS ON A ROLL: Deep fried mac and cheese eggrolls with kimchi sauce. I almost didn't get these, but the reviews rave about 'em. The mac itself is actually a really good classic version without being bland or adding anything funky. The eggroll wrappers make them portable, and the kimchi sauce? It sounded like something I wouldn't like but added the perfect extra pop; it elevated the rolls.
The only thing I'd change about this place is to add a soup option or two- maybe only seasonally for the colder months, but a cup of tomato would have gone PERFECTLY with the 3-way. Something to consider! I'll be ordering again the next time I see these guys anywhere nearby.
