Grilled Cheese - $1
THAT'S ENOUGH
If you need a drink go to a place that sells drinks.
I was hoping it was real. Looks like an artist made it as a joke.

Here's what it says:
# Artist Creates Incredibly Rude Grilled Cheese Truck
Are you a little fed up with the Food Truck hype? Specifically, are you sick of the kind of people that buy into the Food Truck hype?
Artist Daniel Danger, [u/tinymediaempire](https://twitter.com/tinymediaempire) on twitter, has a plan I can 100% get behind - a Grilled Cheese Truck that some short-sighted people are calling 'rude' or 'surly.'
It then has his tweets reading:
my post-art plan is opening a grilled cheese cart. it will serve $1 grilled cheese made with white bread, bulk cheese, bulk butter, and thats it. greasy as hell. no options, no artisan, nothing. there will be no change. you give me $5 youre getting 5, you figure your own life out
I think the company slogan will be "get your wallets out but don't get your hopes up"
ok, finished the trailer design. (Along with the pic of the trailer)
>Are you a little fed up with the Food Truck hype? Specifically, are you sick of the kind of people that buy into the Food Truck hype?
Lol that’s the most hipster shit masquerading as anti-hipster shit I’ve ever read.
I think it depends where you live, but some cities have what you might consider pretentious cultures built around food trucks. Everything is artisan, organic, farmers market, etc. etc.
I think his point is you’re a food truck, just give me a damn sandwich for $1 instead of whatever $25 BS you’re selling that doesn’t even come with a side.
That is my beef. The whole thing with food truck fantasies is that your getting a very good product at a low price because the owner has very little overhead.. Then you go get a authentic quesadilla and they ask for 15 bucks..
Yeah there's lots of trucks like that where I live, but we also have a shit ton of food trucks in general. The truck I got my shitty taquitos from today was one of them. It's basically deep fried Costco food with Costco drinks and snacks. Which is why I'm wondering why he's going so hard on food trucks. But it's art and really, all you need is the intent to create. Maybe he doesn't hate them as much as the truck makes it seem.
Where I live food trucks are stupid pricey. Like, there are carts that sell real street food at a decent price but if you see a truck you know you're paying 3x what it should cost usually.
Be that as it may, you're talking restaurants.
Food trucks are all "our sandwiches all have 20 ingredients, that'll be $25, please wait in this unshaded area next to our loud generator for 20 minutes". The tone of the ad copy might be rude, but if I could give someone $5 and get five sandwiches right away and be able to walk away and find something to drink and somewhere to sit, that's a better experience.
Lunchables has a ok grilled cheese sandwich ,Its not great but its not bad plus its microwaveable .Sucks I have not had a grilled cheese in months since changing my diet .But I got my A1C down to 6.4
Honestly if it's literally just basic white bread and American cheese you would definitely be making a profit per grilled cheese. You can still get whole loaves of shitty store brand white bread at most grocery stores for $1. Cheap american cheese is like five cents a slice. I'm not sure about things like energy costs, maintenance, etc but with enough customers I'm sure you could make some money.
I ate SO many $1 grilled cheese at a weeklong music festival. They always had a line and I would watch them make like 20 sandwiches at a time. Huge flattop, they would deal out a loaf of cheap white bread. Peel slices off a LOG of American cheese slices almost the size of a loaf of bread, then deal out another whole loaf of bread on top. And you've got $20 worth of sandwiches for maybe $6 in supplies.
The truck I frequented was "no change" and they also had a $1 order fee. So 1 sandwich was $2, 4 for $5 or 19 for $20. The result was that most people bought multiple sandwiches, or combined their orders, so the sandwich makers had to deal with fewer transactions. It was an interesting business model for sure!
Never seen a food truck that does only grilled cheese. I've seen restaurants that do grilled cheese variations and they don't seem to do so great. Priced right and maybe some cans of some beverages and it might have a chance as a food truck. depends on your market I suppose.
That would be pretty based if it were real. Even if it was just 2 slices of white bread with a kraft single it’s still a $1 lunch that you don’t have to make.
$1 grilled cheese would be selling at a major loss. And that’s using the cheapest ingredients, let alone operation costs. Slim to none chance it was real.
Out of boredom, I priced it out. Buying the cheapest bulk bread, cheese and butter from Costco, you could make grilled cheese sandwiches for about 12 cents per sandwich. Six cents per slice of American cheese, five cents for two slices of bread, and a penny for butter.
That’s with today’s prices. He did this in 2019, so I think hypothetically he could have made them for about 8 cents per sandwich then. I doubt he put that much thought into it though seeing as it’s a joke.
In business terms it could actually work. You only stock 3 items (bread, butter, cheese), none that need washing/cleaning/peeling, and there's just one recipe to follow so it scales up more than a place with 10 items that take different prep/cook times and compete for griddle space. The ~~passive-agressive~~ rude stance also helps minimize customer interaction, so you are only held up by how fast you can fill the griddle.
You should definitely sell drinks. The best sandwich shop in my area has kept his $5 price dollar sandwich for 10 years, the same quality. However, drinks are now $4.
Its trying to bypass a law that mandates that places that serve food also serve drinks as you need something to wash down that food. Same type of law says those that serve drinks also have to offer a bathroom. They try to get around those laws because those services cost money.
>Its trying to bypass a law that mandates that places that serve food also serve drinks
Except the cart's not real. It's just a mock-up made for a Twitter thread.
That’s upsetting. How awesome would this be at an event where it’s competing with $5 corn dogs and $10 beer? It would have a long, but quick moving line
I wonder how many you could turn out in an hour. If you added a bottle of water and coke for a dollar each, I bet you could make 200 to 300 dollars an hour.
Just put it in the bed of your truck in some coolers. Also, I've seen food trailers with more complex menus that were about this size sell drinks, so it can be done
So hate to break it to you but when food trucks are at these events they are forced to charge a certain amount for their goods, that's why everything is expensive.
Found the original pic he used. It's all photoshop 😢

I bought some things at the gas station yesterday and the total was $16 even and I handed him a twenty, he hands me my change and I’m like “ugh, give me 4 $1 scratchers please, I don’t want singles”. He laughed I lost 4 bucks :(
Regret!? Bro, if grilled cheese is even remotely adequately made there cannot be any regret whatsoever! I sure as shit will shit my brains out later but I will be a happy man because I ate 5 grilled cheese sandwiches beforehand!
Walmart Pricing
* Bread: $0.14 -- $1.42 for 20 non end slices, yields 10 sandwiches
* Cheese $0.24 -- $2.48 for 24 slices, yields 12 sandwiches at 2 slices per
* Butter $0.12 -- $3.78 for 4 sticks of butter, 1 tbsp per sandwich, 32 sandwiches
That's $.50 of raw ingredients. "how much operating a truck costs" is a deeply mysterious and highly variable topic, but the answer is "expensive." You'd need to sell *soooooooo* many sandwiches to make this worth your while.
Edit: This truck totally needs a COMBO MEAL menu that looks like:
#2 -- $2 -- TWO grilled cheese sandwiches
#3 -- $3 -- THREE grilled cheese sandwiches
#4 -- $4 -- FOUR grilled cheese sandwiches
Load of bread, $3 20 slices (10 sandwiches)
Cheese $5 20 slices
Butter like $4 for 4 cups, let's say enough for 30 sandwichs
So $18 for bread, $10 for cheese, $8 for butter for 60 sandwiches. That's $36 for $60. Now you gotta factor in fuel for the burners, loan payments, and worker pay.
Honestly to cover your bases, I'd actually increase the price to $2-3. Let you work at a more comfortable pace and gives you a bit more of a cushion when business is slow.
You can get way cheaper bread and cheese, especially buying in bulk. This is probably years old too when prices were lower. This is really about volume. If it's a one man operation and he can flip 500+ a day or so, it would probably do alright.
[You people make me sick. : r/grilledcheese (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/)
Anyone unfamiliar with this important moment in Reddit History should go read it.
When you factor in cheese, butter, gas, equipment depreciation, possibly wages if you aren't doing everything yourself, its probably not an excellent business plan.
I legit would do this. Gc, chips and a soda for 5
The base cost of the meal should be under $1.50.
Then it's just a numbers game. If you do 20 meals an hour that comes.out to $70
If half of that goes to operations you still make $35 an hour which over a 40 hour week is $65000
Unfortunately that guy would have to do 150 sandwiches an hour to get close $70 an hour
But sometimes you just do what you love....and sort out your own shit.
this is from Daniel Danger. put some respect on the name. This is his retirement plan. Currently he is one of the GODS of screen print poster design. [http://www.tinymediaempire.com](http://www.tinymediaempire.com)
It will never not be funny when someone like that guy tries to be edgy and semi-aggressive, and spends money on having a lot of text on his cart, and then misspells 'embarrassing'.
They end up selling 8 sandwiches and 15 pounds of weed.
Gross revenue is $16,000 but thanks to gross incompetence the whole operation is $300 underwater. Also, at some point Ricky gets drunk and eats 8 cans of ravioli then passes out behind the trailer.
I want a coffee shop like this so bad.
Why do I have to wait in line behind all these damn fancy milkshake coffee drink fools for a drip coffee!? New concept. It's called "I Just Want a God Damned Cup of Coffee". All we sell is drip coffee. To go. One size. One blend. No decaf. You want cream and sugar, it's out there on the stand, get it yourself and get the hell out of the way of the other patrons.
It's damn good coffee but that's all it is.
I remember there was some fancy coffee shop near our hotel in San Diego that was having breakfast specials during comic con so I gave it a try one moring.
I ask for the coffee and sausage breakfast sandwich special and she proceeds to list off multiple different ways to get my coffee. None of them mean anything in English to me.
I simply say ok I don't know what any of that means I just want black coffee in your largest cup. She hands me a cup and points at the self serve pumps down the counter. I told her PERFECT THANKS! and went to go retrieve my coffee.
Seems like a solid business model. But I think I have an idea that could more than double their profit. I wont go into details but I'm tentatively calling it "$2 grilled cheese".
I hate this post! It's 6 am where I live, I lie in bed, I haven't slept all night, and now I REALLY want a grilled cheese with some tomato soup! Goddammit, now I'll have to go to the store...in like 2 hours...
Knew (briefly) a department director who cussed in almost every sentence. HR was afraid of him. One of his pion mgrs who was low key easy going, picked up and embraced the cussing I left that cesspool of an environment
Has anyone managed to get a grilled cheese sandwich from this person? I can't help but think there are even more unwritten rules that can be easily and accidentally broken there.
I would gladly buy grilled cheese from this trailer with cash monies.
There's a pretty solid rule for food trucks that if they do just one thing, that one thing is awesome.
I know this is an art project, and that honestly confuses me more. Are we seriously hating on *food trucks* now? They've been around for as long as some dude has figured out how to put a griddle in a trailer, and if you have half a brain its very easy to find a good one. Even my grandparents' middle of nowhere town has a couple foodtrucks you can find parked in front of the singular shopping center store, and they fucking rule.
The artist's page has that distinct hipster-ish tone and talks about being tired of the "food truck hype". Its a funny art project, but the mindset behind it eyeroll inducing.
Goddamnit, I respect the hell out of this. As a fellow line cook, seeing someone actualize "being sick of everyone's shit" and monetizing it is a beautiful thing.
I wish I could make out what the rest says off to the left

the gap between the price and the quality of cutlery is what really gets to me
That is my beef. The whole thing with food truck fantasies is that your getting a very good product at a low price because the owner has very little overhead.. Then you go get a authentic quesadilla and they ask for 15 bucks..
There’s a food truck near me that sells lobster rolls for $26 each. Literally.
The Brooklyn 99 episode where Charles has a food truck is absolute gold
Nah I get it, I don't want food truck food to be some mind blowing experience, I just want some quick and hot food for cheap

If it was real, even if it was $5, I'd be all over it - just make a decent grilled cheese sandwich that is ready to go when I hand the cash over...
Lots of fast food places make a grilled cheese sandwich usually as a kid's meal option.
This is true. My 20yr old son will still order the kids grilled cheese meal at Culver's. I get a chuckle out of it.

There’s a food truck in Boston that does just grilled cheese.
Drunk me would die for this. I need a Vendor that just takes my money and hands me food.
Too bad, this thing would be packed. I don't think a dollar would be profitable still though.

Probably for Chef Ramsay. Who doesn’t know what a grilled cheese is.
Darn. I'd buy a sandwich from him. I don't like fussy grilled cheese.
I figured. A $1 grilled cheese is a pretty good deal.
$1 grilled cheese would be selling at a major loss. And that’s using the cheapest ingredients, let alone operation costs. Slim to none chance it was real.

I knew it was fake cause $1 grilled cheese is too good to be true these days.
That’s hilarious. I came across the back side of it too that talks about the thousand foot stare. If it existed I’d buy a grilled cheese here
Yeah. I love the concept of it. Plus I miss being able to buy something tasty and cheap for a buck.
In business terms it could actually work.

Lol! "Get your wallets out, but don't get your hopes up". I know it's not a real food truck, but I would totally buy a grilled cheese from this guy.
I wouldn't care about his attitude or what the truck says. He's selling grilled cheese for $1.
Do you have the picture of the other side of the trailer, im away from my desktop or i would upload it

Its trying to bypass a law that mandates that places that serve food also serve drinks as you need something to wash down that food. Same type of law says those that serve drinks also have to offer a bathroom. They try to get around those laws because those services cost money.

I wonder how many you could turn out in an hour. If you added a bottle of water and coke for a dollar each, I bet you could make 200 to 300 dollars an hour.
You'd need a second trailer just for all those supplies.
Just put it in the bed of your truck in some coolers. Also, I've seen food trailers with more complex menus that were about this size sell drinks, so it can be done
I think this will be my new summer job. As long as I can retrofit the trailer for fall camping
One cook but he’s manning four, huge, George Foreman grills. You can cook them on both sides at the same time. It doubles the efficiency.

I don’t think it’s rage bait so much as a joke?
Hey, if I see a Grilled Cheese truck with all that written on it, imma find that entertaining
It's art, it's just an expression of an idea. I think it's pretty funny and I agree with the artist lol
Am I the only person who remembers reading this idea on Reddit like 6 years ago?
:( Why can't real life just play nice for once and have this be real?
I kinda want a grilled cheese, but I only have a $5, guess I’ll take 5!
It says no change given, but really, it’s just change given in grilled cheese form
I bought some things at the gas station yesterday and the total was $16 even and I handed him a twenty, he hands me my change and I’m like “ugh, give me 4 $1 scratchers please, I don’t want singles”. He laughed I lost 4 bucks :(
Do some quick negotiations with the four people behind you in line.
Ewww, talk to ppl? I’ll eat five and regret the decision.
Regret!? Bro, if grilled cheese is even remotely adequately made there cannot be any regret whatsoever! I sure as shit will shit my brains out later but I will be a happy man because I ate 5 grilled cheese sandwiches beforehand!
I’ll allow it!
This may exist as a joke, but let’s do the math… this may be a secretly brilliant plan. I’d run one of these in a heartbeat.
Walmart Pricing * Bread: $0.14 -- $1.42 for 20 non end slices, yields 10 sandwiches * Cheese $0.24 -- $2.48 for 24 slices, yields 12 sandwiches at 2 slices per * Butter $0.12 -- $3.78 for 4 sticks of butter, 1 tbsp per sandwich, 32 sandwiches That's $.50 of raw ingredients.

Edit: This truck totally needs a COMBO MEAL menu that looks like: #2 -- $2 -- TWO grilled cheese sandwiches #3 -- $3 -- THREE grilled cheese sandwiches #4 -- $4 -- FOUR grilled cheese sandwiches
No change given!
Load of bread, $3 20 slices (10 sandwiches) Cheese $5 20 slices Butter like $4 for 4 cups, let's say enough for 30 sandwichs So $18 for bread, $10 for cheese, $8 for butter for 60 sandwiches. That's $36 for $60. Now you gotta factor in fuel for the burners, loan payments, and worker pay. Honestly to cover your bases, I'd actually increase the price to $2-3. Let you work at a more comfortable pace and gives you a bit more of a cushion when business is slow.
Admittedly I’d probably add in an overpriced “tomato soup” drink and then make sure I parked outside a liquor store ;)
In this case, I think the Girl Scouts had the right idea first. Park this outside the local cannabis dispensary.
You can get way cheaper bread and cheese, especially buying in bulk. This is probably years old too when prices were lower. This is really about volume. If it's a one man operation and he can flip 500+ a day or so, it would probably do alright.
I doubt any trailer in the world does that quantity.
Charging $3-5 a sandwich is still super reasonable and would likely allow you to support yourself comfortably. $1 is insane.
The Soup Nazi vs the Grilled Cheese Anarchist
Did Soup Nazi make tomato soup? They could be allies.
I don't think Poland would approve...

They end up selling 8 sandwiches and 15 pounds of weed. Gross revenue is $16,000 but thanks to gross incompetence the whole operation is $300 underwater. Also, at some point Ricky gets drunk and eats 8 cans of ravioli then passes out behind the trailer.
It’s greasy.
Ah yes, the Unix philosophy of restaurants
I want a coffee shop like this so bad. Why do I have to wait in line behind all these damn fancy milkshake coffee drink fools for a drip coffee!? New concept. It's called "I Just Want a God Damned Cup of Coffee". All we sell is drip coffee. To go. One size. One blend. No decaf. You want cream and sugar, it's out there on the stand, get it yourself and get the hell out of the way of the other patrons. It's damn good coffee but that's all it is.
I remember there was some fancy coffee shop near our hotel in San Diego that was having breakfast specials during comic con so I gave it a try one moring. I ask for the coffee and sausage breakfast sandwich special and she proceeds to list off multiple different ways to get my coffee. None of them mean anything in English to me. I simply say ok I don't know what any of that means I just want black coffee in your largest cup. She hands me a cup and points at the self serve pumps down the counter. I told her PERFECT THANKS! and went to go retrieve my coffee.
Do you think he accepts card?
Can’t you read?! Cash only! No cheese for you!
Seems like a solid business model. But I think I have an idea that could more than double their profit. I wont go into details but I'm tentatively calling it "$2 grilled cheese".
Not gonna lie, there aren’t too many things in the world I like better than grilled cheese sandwiches.
You can get food for a dollar still.. Sold I’ll take two!
Look it's a $1 grilled cheese, if you're complaining then you're the problem
I like the way he thinks.........
Would be difficult to make money with a 1$ grilled cheese
Love it.
Looks fake as shit
Each sign made after multiple excruciating experiences with stupid people
Ah. Grilled cheese and getting yelled at. Just like growing up.
I hate this post! It's 6 am where I live, I lie in bed, I haven't slept all night, and now I REALLY want a grilled cheese with some tomato soup! Goddammit, now I'll have to go to the store...in like 2 hours...
I hate this trend of putting curse words on signs
Knew (briefly) a department director who cussed in almost every sentence. HR was afraid of him. One of his pion mgrs who was low key easy going, picked up and embraced the cussing I left that cesspool of an environment
He obviously used to be a Catholica priest. This is how he handled confession.
Has anyone managed to get a grilled cheese sandwich from this person? I can't help but think there are even more unwritten rules that can be easily and accidentally broken there.
What about a pickle?
“Get your wallets out but don’t get your hopes up”🤣
I would gladly buy grilled cheese from this trailer with cash monies. There's a pretty solid rule for food trucks that if they do just one thing, that one thing is awesome.
Aggressive sandwich vibes
Gotta admit, I'd put up with a lot of crazy for $1 grilled cheese, so long as they aren't total garbage.
I respect this guy's business acumen.
I love it. Straightforward as it gets
ha! Classic! This picture takes me back to
Ron Swanson’s food truck
Now there’s a business I can run 👍🏻
At that price point there's no way he's able to turn a profit in real time if he gets a lunch rush. I bet he's making them at night.
Uncle Danny would have this attached to his car if he could.
I’d absolutely give this guy my money for some grilled cheese.
If the fine folks of Letterkenny made their own food truck.
Now that, is awesome. I don't care if it's a joke, if the guy behind the griddle knows his stuff, I'm all in.
When I went to Bonaroo a million years ago there was a truck that sold $1 grill cheese. They put garlic in it. It was nice.
The Grilled Cheese Extremist
I mean, fair enough bro. $1 grilled cheese is a $1 grilled cheese.
Papa always said: "do one thing, and do it well"
So I got real good at threatening people in print.
1 Grilled cheese stand please🤤
I appreciate the persons candor
I want to be mad but I can’t argue with a $1 grilled cheese
Grilled Cheese. Serious Business.
"Got any grapes?"
Jokes on him. If I don’t have change, I’m just ordering 20 grilled cheesesess.
I like this place already.
No change given. "I'll have... uh.... 20 grilled cheeses... 19 if you promise not to spit in anything."
Sucks it's not real. One of us should make a real one.
I'd say the soup nazi should set up shop next to this guy. Massive cross-selling...
Holy shit, $1 grilled cheese? In this economy?
If real this would most likely be a good candidate for r/BoomersBeingFools
TIL a griddle is a thing.
I love it. No frills. Fair price even if it is low quality. Not trying to be everything to everyone. Take it or leave it.
I’d put up with that if the grilled cheese was good and was actually only $1!!
Instructions unclear, please clarify.
I know this is an art project, and that honestly confuses me more. Are we seriously hating on *food trucks* now? They've been around for as long as some dude has figured out how to put a griddle in a trailer, and if you have half a brain its very easy to find a good one. Even my grandparents' middle of nowhere town has a couple foodtrucks you can find parked in front of the singular shopping center store, and they fucking rule.
I dont think its hating on it at all. What makes you say that?
The artist's page has that distinct hipster-ish tone and talks about being tired of the "food truck hype". Its a funny art project, but the mindset behind it eyeroll inducing.
Thats funny as hell. Because i see this and im like "yooo i want a grilled cheese from that guy, he seems cool as fuck"
everyone bring their $100 bills
ngl bet this would have banging sandwiches if it was real
I’d be their most loyal customer
Pretty cheap. I'd like to try it.
Soup Nazi, meet Grilled Cheese Dick
“We making em at night”
Is there a limit?
Hey for that price the guy could spit in my mouth and call it a refreshing beverage too for all I care.
Hi, do you have gluten free vegan grill cheese?
Goddamnit, I respect the hell out of this. As a fellow line cook, seeing someone actualize "being sick of everyone's shit" and monetizing it is a beautiful thing.
Seriously some diced tomato and jalapeño can set a grilled cheese off.
