| - What can I say about Melt? It opened while I was interning for Cleveland Magazine, & though I was smitten with the idea of it, I never had a chance to go before moving to Washington, D.C. - muuuuch to my dismay. Instead, I recommended Melt to every person I knew who was looking for a quirky restaurant in the Cleve, including five different friends who made trips there separately. Do you understand the depth of this? I recommended to FIVE PEOPLE a restaurant that I'd NEVER BEEN TO - & they all adored it, which of course only deepened my desire.
Now that I've moved back to Northeast Ohio, I was thrilled for the big day - my Melt Day. We didn't wait too long on a Wednesday night - about 20 minutes for a party of five. I had trouble, at first, deciding what to go with because everything sounded so delicious & so long-awaited. Ultimately, I went with the Chorizo and Potato Grilled Cheese, which had spicy mexican sausage, potato hash, sharp cheddar on thick white bread with a side of fries & a Franziskaner Hefeweisen to wash it down.
I was not disappointed. Melt pulled through for my taste buds - and how. I downed the entire sandwich & about half of the fries, then happily settled in with a bad case of the JAMS - "just ate, must sleep." I sure do wish there'd been some leftovers, but who needs leftovers when you're that darn happy?
Melt, I love you. You were worth the wait.
