Strollers down Valencia Street this weekend were greeted by a friendly individual hawking Volkswagen-made grilled cheese sandwiches. Mozzarella and sharp cheddar on marbled rye with healthy slices of tomato and avocado.
How much do they cost? “However much you got, man.” Well then, I happen to have $3. “Awesome, have some extra avocado!” I didn’t possess the constitution necessary to attempt the homemade absinthe, however.
It was a pretty classy setup inside, with linoleum flooring and various amenities including a sink and sizable hot plate grill. Blue Oyster Cult blared from the speakers, completing the scene. Even if I was possibly contributing to this fellow’s Burning Man fund, that grilled cheese sure hit the spot.
hahahaha that is SO legit!!! we need more random hippie van grilled cheese down here in san diego…. or i need to move up there!
they’re everywhere in Santa Cruz.
and all over Maui with shave ice and lunch plates, only in old ass VW vans. i personally lurve me some street food–and the more “dirt” your gut accumulates, the better you get at eating it!
Mmm yummy we need more grilled cheese than just Tropicana. BTW, its Valencia *Street*.
Great, now anyone can be a food cart guy.
that’s amazing. mmmm……
“Yummy”and “mmmmm” are Yelp vernacular, annoying, and overused.
As to random dude making grilled cheese sandwiches, more power to him, but I’ll pass.
How about “nomnomnom” (and variations)?
I might try, but not on Valencia — other options. More likely, in Golden Gate Park, or, YES! at the ocean…
Honey at this point I’m even cool with “awesome.” Because it doesn’t have blond hi-lites and a pony tail attached.
“More power to him” is old and hackneyed, and in fact, is more applicable to the guy’s grill than to yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. PS: I have never posted on Yelp!
Yea, great..food carts, no regulation. food poisoning. food anarchy.
what’s next? a free jello shots out of a van?
I know! pap smears out of a van.
hipsters again trying to be cool and get away with anything.
that dude was waaaaaay more burner than hipster
i read this post and all i heard was bob dole saying, ‘you god damn kids, get off of my lawn!’
the day is fast approaching where hipsters force people to eat grilled cheese sandwiches in an attempt to be cool and get away with anything.
yah, those uber powerful hipsters that force our City’s veritable army of “just average guys” to do their every bidding and steal their women.
your media-inspired paranoia has nothing to do with your hipness. it’s pretty egotistical to think some dude in a van is trying to poison you.
i am the grill cheese master…i sell in the bushes at GG Park, fuck a van, grill cheese is made on the ground…
