Chasing the Dragon

I’ve been jonesin’ for the Grilled Cheese Truck (www.thegrilledcheesetruck.com) for several months.  The last opportunity I had for it, I wound up bypassing it since the line was incredibly long I was STARVING!  Foolish me!  Every day I get a tweet from them, and they are never anywhere close to where I am at. 

Until today….

I got a tweet this morning that they were in Century City at Fox Plaza at the valet parking side for lunch today.  It was almost 11:30, so I grabbed my co-worker Madeleine and hoofed it over to Fox.  Glad we got there early, since when we left the line was at least 5 times as long as when we arrived.  Sheesh!  They are popular – and with good reason.

I opted for the day’s special, the “Brady Bunch Melt” – triple cream brie, pork roast and homemade chunky applesauce on rosemary potato bread.  Initially, my thought was “applesauce?  Really??”  But it was more a spread than a sauce and it melded well with the pork and brie.  Mmmmmmm yummmmmm!  I also picked up a side of mac & cheese to share.  One of the best grilled cheese I’ve had in a while, even topping the one I blogged on recently from Piknic!

Madeleine had their standard Brie Melt (brie, fig paste and almonds on peppercorn potato bread).  She gave me the thumbs up.  I will order that next time….with the addition of bacon…unless they have another delicious special!

If you see the Grilled Cheese Truck in your area, I highly recommend that you check it out.  It’s worth the wait in the line.  The staff is friendly and fast, and the food divine.
