The Meltdown Bistro

The Meltdown Bistro

Our COVID-19 food truck journey around Fresno continues with the Meltdown Bistro truck. Specializing in grilled cheese, the Meltdown Bistro has a large number of cheesy sandwiches and melts.

We ordered a classic Meltdown Sandwich and added the optional crispy Parmesan crust. We chose swiss cheese, though we could have opted for American, cheddar, or provolone cheese instead. Our second sandwich was a pig mac. A pig mac is a grilled sandwich with cheddar mac and cheese, pulled pork, bacon, with cheddar and American cheese. We also ordered the creamy tomato basil bisque to go with the sandwiches.

Our total came to $24 including tax.

The Meltdown Bistro truck can be found at food truck venues through Facebook or Instagram.

Real Philly

This week's COVID-19 journey heads to a food truck featuring the classic food of Philadelphia. "Real Philly" is a Fresno area truck featuring cheesesteaks, chicken cutlet sandwiches, and roast pork sandwiches. They are all served on locally baked Italian rolls that are similar to the classic Amoroso roll (Amoroso rolls are baked by a Philadelphia area bakery for cheesesteaks and hoagies and distributed nationwide).

We ordered a cheesesteak with the original toppings, onions and provolone. (Cheese Wiz was also available for those who insist on it.) I was hoping for a pork sandwich with broccoli rabe, but they had no pork the night we were there, so we settled for broccoli rabe on a cheesesteak. Broccoli rabe (also known as rapini) is a green vegetable cooked with garlic that looks somewhat like broccoli and is part of the classic Philadelphia Italian pork sandwich.

Real Philly can be found at the usual food truck venues in the Fresno area through Instagram.

Our total for two sandwiches came to $23.75 including tax.
