The Grilled Cheese Truck hosted what was, hands-down, the cheesiest event in all of Hollywood this weekend -- and in the vicinity of the Cahuenga Corridor, that’s no mean feat. Hype has been building to an almost deafening roar since chef Dave Danhi announced in mid-September that he would roll out the Grilled Cheese Truck. On Sunday night, he hosted a ‘pre-melt’ at the Farmer’s Kitchen in Hollywood. When Danhi quietly announced the event Thursday morning on his Twitter feed, the sign-up list filled up in less than two hours. But last night, Danhi opened the event to the public.

On the menu: the plain and simple melt with either American or cheddar cheese; the cheesy mac and rib melt with mac ‘n cheese, barbecued pork and caramelized onions; the caprese melt with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil; and a dessert sandwich of marshmallows, Nutella and bananas.
In attendance: chef Roy Choi from Kogi; Tim Walker, the mayor of the Grilled Cheese Invitational; cookbook author and tasting tour guide Robert Danhi (who happens to be Dave Danhi’s brother); and anyone who likes hot, gooey cheese between two pieces of grilled, buttery bread.
