More Cheese, Please

The third time, and it’s still a charm – Friday night I got to enjoy the Grilled Cheese Truck (www.grilledcheesetruck.com) yet again.  My friend Thom joined me in Burbank for the food truck roundup being sponsored by Mindfulness.  I got there first and got in line around 6:00pm, and was about 20^th in line and the truck hadn’t yet gotten its parking spot.  Thom arrived about 10 minutes later.  Once the truck got parked, they got the doors up and fairly quickly got things moving.  And they were much quicker this time in moving the line and getting orders fulfilled quickly.

I ordered the Cheesy Mac & Rib Melt:  mac & cheese with sharp cheddar, pork rib meat and grilled onions (I opted out on the onions….I don’t like them grilled).  It was definitely a very savory treat and a nice way to end the week.  The only thing missing was a nice deep red wine to enjoy with the melt – but I had a Coke instead.  Thom had the same thing and also got an order of tater tots.  He thoroughly enjoyed his meal too….I had to avert my eyes a few times he was so into it.

After having our melts, we went across the street to Los Angeles Shave Ice (www.losangelesshaveice.com) and ordered one with watermelon, green apple and cherry.  An odd combo, I know, but it worked!  I spoke with the owner Sean briefly – really nice guy.  And they worked fast.  It was also very refreshing since it was 1000 degrees in the valley on Friday (okay – it was really only 104, but it was still blazing hot and humid….ick!). 

We saw a few other trucks that piqued our interest, including two South American cuisine trucks that I will have to look for again, one which was called Miski (the other I didn’t get a picture of to remember).  I wish they would do these roundups in Burbank every Friday!  C’mon Burbank!
