After topping numerous "Best-Of' lists and garnering one of the largest social media followings of any food truck anywhere, the Original Grilled Cheese Truck is now bringing its melty, delicious goodness to adoring gourmet comfort food audiences from coast to coast - and uftimately, around the world.

Whether crafting critically acclaimed melts or identifying and mentoring the next generation of elite chefs and restaurant managers (via DD Fi:ctor, the 58-year-old hospitality recruiting agency he acquired in 2005), Chef Danhi is no stranger to innovation and entrepreneurial success. As Dave tells the story it was his participation in Los Angeles' Seventh Annual Grilled Cheese lnvitationalcompelilion that would spark his biggest idea yet. 'The message I head loud and clear at the lnvltational was that everyone loves grilled cheese! You'ye got crispy brcad, and hen this gooey, wam centei.. ftb the perfec't comfort food. After the compeiltlon, attendees hungry for grilld ch*se were met outside by a lone truck seving health food! Thatb when t reatized the world neded a gourmet grilled cheese truck!'

Apart from the Original Grilled Cheese Truck, there is simply no other food truck-based restaurant brand on the national radar. The company recently prepended "Original'to its name to distinguish itself from come-lately imitators - and to honor Chef Daves ingenious, melty epiphany.
