| - Cuban War Pig, The Dude Abides, Godfather. These are modern classics. Opening on a plate near you.
Melt never fails to make me wish I hadn't driven myself there, so that I could just happily doze off in the back seat after stuffing my stomach to maximum capacity (and then some). While I have yet to achieve the greatest feat of all, and that is to finish my Melt sandwich in one sitting, I would not recommend it, nor do I think it is wise. Melt is one of those rare establishments, whose food is just as good the next day.
These sandwiches are beasts of flavor that make bold statements both to your eyes and to your belly. I think they do a surprisingly good job of actually making the sandwiches feel and taste like sandwiches and yet also like the meal that is being stuffed into them. For example, with the Godfather, I feel like I'm enjoying a wonderful lasagna, and yet I also am enjoying an explosion of a sandwich. It's so tricky and so marvelous. Cuban War Pig is sweet and tangy and just sooo saucy, you'll need lots of napkins! The Dude Abides is cozy and very satisfying. It tastes like homemade meatballs, and yet so much better. It makes me feel like I've known those meatballs my whole life lol.
Since Melt is so amazing, expect long wait times. My best advice is to call ahead with your order and pick up your food to go. These beauties should probably be enjoyed on your couch with a pair of large sweatpants. Enjoy!
