Melt Mobile was launched in 2012 when Darlene and Diana purchased their first paddy wagon. Combining their culinary prowess and business savvy, and a good amount of fearlessness, the duo took their dairy infatuation and grilled it between two slices of buttery artisanal bread and created the “Original Melt”. The canvas was set and the griddle was hot. Melt Mobile has since stuffed these scrumptious creations with everything from pulled pork, angus burgers and slow braised short rib meat, to seasonal veggies, Diana’s famous meatballs, cheeses from around the world, and even peanut butter, bananas and Fluff! Whether you’re an old school grilled cheese-tomato soup dipper, or you’re feeling a little more adventurous, it’s all good. And it’s your lucky day, because Melt Mobile loves to throw a party – at work or play, have Melt Mobile drive up to your next event. We make it easy - all that matters is that you Take It Cheesy.
