10 Best: Grilled Cheese Trucks

It’s no surprise that grilled cheese trucks have become de rigueur these days. They’re fast, portable, and loved by (almost) everyone. As if crispy bread and gooey cheese weren’t enough, grilled cheese trucks across the country are raising the stakes with ingredients like caramelized onions and short ribs. Yum.

1. The Grilled Cheese Truck, Los Angeles, CA
By far the most liked and followed on Facebook and Twitter, The Grilled Cheese Truck is best known for their Cheesy Mac and Rib, a godly combination of mac and cheese, barbecued pulled pork, and caramelized onions.

8. The Grilled Cheese Grill, Portland, OR
With the motto of “Come by for a taste of your childhood *Unless your childhood sucked, and then we’ll let ya have a taste of ours,” does it really matter if the grilled cheese is any good? It is.

9. Toasty Cheese, Chicago, IL
Are you a Mighty Max or a Jazzy Jeff? At Toasty Cheese, all sandwiches come with a moniker. I’ll stick to the Chef’s Choice: duck bacon, provolone, greens, and aioli.

10. Ms. Cheezious, Miami, FL
Livin’ it up in Miami, Ms. Cheezious makes it clear that this is not your mama’s grilled cheese. For a taste of the sea, go for the Crabby Cheese Melt, made with a decadent crab salad and sharp cheddar.
