Dave Danhi has been part of the Los Angeles restaurant scene in some form or another for the last 34 years. Starting out at the local pizza joint, he realized his passion for food. As soon as the chains of high school were lifted, he relocated back to New York to hone his culinary skills. After spending a year in the Catskills working at various restaurants and resorts he decided to move back to the sunny beaches of So. Cal. In 2009, he competed in the 7th annual Grilled Cheese Invitational, a grilled cheese competition that over 8,000 people flock to yearly. This was his ‘ah ha’ moment and realized that he was going to open the world’s first grilled cheese truck. The truck has been embraced locally as well as internationally with numerous accolades including “Best Food Truck” over 10 times. He and the truck have had countless television appearances, locally and internationally. The Melts have appeared on numerous list, naming them some of the best grilled cheese creations in the US
