Yes, it's been a while. I hope we can still be friends.
Recently (as in, yesterday), I started contributing to an online magazine for the city of Pasadena. Technically, I am the lifestyles editor. In addition to photography and "reporting," I have to attend various events in Pasadena and the surrounding areas that include modern art auctions, restaurant openings, and beer tastings. It's a really tough job.
Yesterday I attended the official grand opening for a grilled cheese sandwich restaurant called Melt It! Grilled Cheese Co. You can check out my article here. It was actually perfect timing since I managed to track down the Grilled Cheese Truck a few weeks ago.
The Brie: brie, fig compote on a French roll from Melt It!
The Mac 'n' Cheese grilled cheese from The Grilled Cheese Truck
My opinion? Well, while I wanted to give a real side-by-side comparison, I caved and ordered the Brie instead of Melt It's Mac'n'Cheese. I wished for more cheese, but realized the molten perils that come along with over stuffing a grilled sammy with brie. The addition of the fig compote really made the sandwich and I appreciated the quality and amount of the bread- crusty, flavorful, and not too thick. As for the famed Grilled Cheese Truck? It was about what I was expecting. A decent amount of cheese with some pretty good macaroni nestled between some disappointing bread. The side of chipotle mayo was a great addition.
Did I mention that Melt It! makes deep fried Oreos, too? If you haven't been able to figure it out from my previous cupcake post, I LOVE Oreos. That may have put Melt It! over the edge. That and I don't have to stand in line behind a food truck's exhaust pipe while my stomach eats itself. I highly suggest you check them out.

What's going on in MY kitchen? Next post I'll show you what's lurking in my cupboards.
