If you are going to splurge on a grilled cheese sandwich, may as well splurge on a really good grilled cheese sandwich... for that, Cheese Please delivers!
I happened upon the Cheese Please food truck while browsing the food truck offerings at Harvest Jazz and Blues. Among the sea of standard deep fried things, Cheese Please stood out with their menu of classic and creative grilled cheese sandwiches. Being in the Maritimes and wanting to take advantage of the local flavours, I went for the donair sandwich: a grilled cheese made with donair meat, tomatoes, onions, sweet sauce, relish and cheese on thick sliced buttered bread. I loved the addition of sweet sauce paired with the lightly spiced donair meat. Although relish is not a normal condiment on a donair, it went well on the sandwich, adding a bright acidic bite against the other heavier components.
At $12, the price was high for a sandwich, but standard for a food truck. My one complaint is the time it takes to make the sandwiches. Every one was being made to order, which is nice for freshness, but does not work the best in a high crowd environment. In this case, I think it would be better to have a more limited menu and just constantly have sandwiches being cooked so that they can be handed off as ordered. read more
