| - When you go to a gourmet food truck specializing in grilled cheese, you know it's going to be awesome. I mean, even at it's most basic form, it's bread and cheese which is probably the best combination out there.
My sister raves about this truck so when I came down to visit, she told me we HAD to go. There was no need to twist my arm about it, so we tracked them down at Triple C brewery one night. One glance at the menu and I knew what I was getting. Their special grilled cheese for the night was a bacon, fig, and manchego grilled cheese. The chef inside told me they put baby arugula on it as well (I'm not sure if he was just excited about the special or warning me so I knew what to expect, but either way I knew I was going to enjoy it).
We sat down inside the brewery and they brought our sandwiches in to us. Each box is stamped with the papi queso mustache (which is probably the cutest logo ever) and a stamp to show what sandwich you have. I got to try a bite of everyone's sandwich at the table. The leek and mushroom was probably my least favorite, only because I'm not a mushroom fan, but it wasn't bad at all, just not my favorite. Third on the list was the french onion soup grilled cheese. It had a very mellow, complex caramalized onion flavor which was really, really delicious. I then had a bite of the sandwich they're most known for, the Pig Mac. It's easy to see why this is a staple on their menu, pulled pork, mac and cheese, yeah, it was amazing.
But the clear winner of the night was the special. The smokey bacon, the sweet fig, the creamy melty manchego, and the mustardy bite of the arugula all worked so perfectly together. I may not live in Charlotte, but Papi Queso is now on my list of "must-go" places when I'm visiting. And if you're reading this, add this special to your regular menu. Seriously.
