To each their own maybe? I thoroughly enjoy grilled cheeses at The Melt and still visit it regularly. I don't really care how they run their businesses, what tech they use, whether the CEO came from tech or food. I like the grilled cheese there better than most places. There are only a couple of other places in SF/bay area with better/comparable grilled cheeses to me. (American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, Boudin SF)
Also, you said you haven't heard of them, but you made the claim that it's a microwaved soggy grilled cheese sandwich. I've never had a soggy grilled cheese at The Melt.
- webkike 9y agoGrilled cheese is so low maintenance that I don't understand why you would pay a premium for something you can make way better yourself for practically pennies. No matter how good they make the grill cheese, I feel confident that I will be able to make a grill cheese that tastes better for cheaper every single time and I believe this sentiment is shared by most people.
- megy 9y agoExactly. It is like going to a restaurant and ordering an Apple.

- wpietri 9y agoThis is true for pretty much any sandwich, though. The peak for sandwich shops is the lunch hour, when people are often not at home.
- webkike 9y agoA lot of sandwiches that I would want on a whim I do not have the groceries for. I almost always have the ingredients for a grilled cheese. Not only that, sandwiches you could buy from delis all over Palo Alto are substantially cheaper that sandwiches from the melt.
- AmVess 9y agoI didn't make the claim, the article did. Also, I read reviews of them online, and read many complaints of soggy sandwiches.
