If I were drunk, I'd probably get 300$ out of the ATM and laugh the entire hour or whatever it took...
Then eat like 10 and give the rest away to people.
10/10 dark af 1/10 sandwiches are rubbbery
"Cash only. I don't have Venmo because I'm not some teenage asshole who vapes"
That part got me haha
A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.
You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.
As a non American, where I am from, we call them toasties. Cheese toasties, cheese and tomato toasties, etc.
I don't know of any puritans who argue about what a true toastie is, but I may have lived a sheltered life. People will argue about anything.
People are actually in this thread discussing how feasible this is as if it were a real plan down to calculating specific costs and supporting them with URLs.
Never change, Lemmy.
Many of us do have this fantasy.
I'm sick of seeing $6 for a bag of fries and $12 for a basic ass sandwich.
Id love to see food trucks that were dirt cheap and just did 1 food. Please park this grilled cheese truck outside my house
I went to a food truck festival a few weeks ago, and holy shit the prices of stuff. I don't think there was a single item you could get for less than $18, and that was like the price of three french fries.
I'm excited to introduce my latest business:
The $.99 Grilled Cheese Food Truck. Conveniently located next to the $1 Grilled Cheese Food Truck. Come with $1, leave with a grilled cheese and money still in your pocket (yes, we give change).
Put this outside a good number of pubs in the UK and you’ll make an absolute killing. It would have to offer a £1 toastie, of course, but the principle is the same.
Why would anyone ruin a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of tomato?
I wanna open a beer garden the size of a parking spot next to it that sells cans of Rainier for a dollar out of a cooler and has a boom box and some plastic kiddie furniture. Party on.
To be fair, I'd pay $5 for 5 grilled cheese sandwiches and eat them all in one setting.
There would be a line around the block. This is the grilled cheese of everyone’s childhood. Add a sprinkle of salt or use salted butter when cooking on the skillet and I would be in line with everyone else holding a fiver.
Salt? That's it, your head's going on the griddle.
Man, I’m so embarrassed for them.
I'd probably double that menu to include coffee.
No cream.
No sugar.
Take your coffee and grilled cheese sandwich and fuck off over thereabouts
What happens if i pay $1.50?
Do I get .50 back? Or do i get half a sandwich or do I just get bread or just cheese or a bread with cheese but not grilled?

what happens if i give you $1.37
Daniel Danger @tinymediaempire 7 Jun 2019
i round down so you get one grilled cheese and i get a 37 cent tip and also i put you on a mental list for being a troublemaker
Read section: bottom left; No change given, sort out your own shit.
If you can pay someone $1.50, then you can pay them $1. You can't even pull a "I don't have a smaller bill" or other shit.
If you try to pay $1.50 then you're just being a trouble maker.
I realize this is a joke but how could this be profitable? The ingredients alone are more than a dollar.
Yes, it's profitable. They lose money on each sale, but make up for it in volume.
Where are you where it would cost more than $1. Buying product in bulk would be very cheap.
Because I have no life, I looked it up.
Bread in Finland is about 0.1 usd per slice Low quality cheese is about 8 usd / kg, assuming you need about 20g/portion that's 0.16 usd. Total is about 36c per portion.
If we assume power consumption of 5kw for the whole operation and power cost of 20c/kWh, that's 1usd/h
Assuming sales of 60 units per hour -one per minute, thats 60 usd of revenue per hour and 22.6 usd of non labor cost, it leaves 37.4e for labor, taxes, permits, tools, fuel.
It's at least only feasible in high volume locations.
Eat what you like,but if you want a "melt", go to a restaurant. If you just want a grilled cheese(or toastie),go to the truck. Simple. And damn,why isn't this a thing? I'd kill for a simple grilled cheese rn
Ah, a restaurant run by the head chef and the head chef alone
This capitalist is alright.
This cart is performance art in object form.
I get that it's probably a joke. But I would absolutely go out of my way to get small bills to buy basic grilled sandwiches from this person complete with, what I assume, is barely hospitable service.
I feel like that's kind of a hipster thing? I don't care for the label, but I can't argue it sometimes fits.
no pepper. no hot sauce. no dippin that in a fryer. no fresh tomato slices. the only point of this being an entire food truck is to cover it in angry words.
None of those things you mentioned are ingredients in grilled cheese. The purpose of the food truck is to make grilled cheese.
