Lunchwagon Wars: Melt

Melt recently returned from hiatus, so Umami, Makizushi, and Ms. D decided to get a couple of sandwiches and split them three ways.
Pastrami Melt
First up, the Pastrami Melt ($8) - Pastrami, Gruyere, Dijon Mustard on Grilled Rye.  Umami's had this one before and really likes it.
Pastrami Melt - Cross Section
Makizushi likes grilled cheese sandwiches and wanted to try the Triple Melt ($6) - Vermont Cheddar, Dutch Gouda, and Gruyere on Sourdough.
Triple Melt
Umami is partial to Kraft American Singles and White Bread, so the Triple Melt seems like a wild extravagance.  But it is really good.  Especially with the (Homemade) Fresh Tomato Soup ($2).
Fresh Tomato Soup
It's not so much a tomato soup as it is a tomato bisque and, actually, Makizushi and Ms. D thought it was  even more like a marinara dipping sauce for deep fried mozzarella.
Dunk!
So, of course, the natural thing to do is dunk the Triple Melt into the soup.  It's hard to beat fried/grilled cheese/bread and tomato soup/bisque.  Umami loves it.  Dr. Lois, not so much, but, then, she doesn't have to know.

  1. OMG! That looks so good! On Friday, I was just about to go and order when the worker started to wipe off the menu board. I asked if I was still able to order and he said they didn't have enough food for an order. :( I guess I have to go earlier. Where is this wagon usually located? I saw it outside of Sports Authority on Ward.
