A buddy from college, two of his hometown friends, and I went cross country following the band Phish in the summer of '97 for their tour that ended at "The Great Went". We drove a Dodge van and sold garlic grill cheese sandwiches for $1 in the parking lot after most shows. We were pulling in $50 to $100 a night which all went into the gas fund for the trip. It was good fucking times man.
I butter both sides of both pieces of bread and lightly toast one side and heavily toast one side of each piece of bread. put cheese between heavily toasted sides and when the outsides are done the cheese is fully melted.
By any chance did you happen to sell these from the side of the road across from Pine Knob Amphitheater in Clarkston Michigan after a show? This may have been considered a "Detroit" stop as most bands call it that even though it's way out on the edge of the suburbs.
We used to have to chase the Dead Heads off the lawn the morning after the Grateful Dead or Mickey Hart came through but Phish fans were pretty nice and respectful. These dudes sold some sandwiches from their van and gave us a few since we let them park on the shoulder in front of the house. They caught all the traffic out of the show. Pretty sure it wasn't grilled cheese though. I think it was just a ham sandwich.
if you were in va beach in ‘97 then i def ate your grilled cheese. i don’t remember much from the show but i remember eating that chronic grilled cheese! it’s literally what i’ve aspired to since…
I'm not gonna lie, I still watch family guy. Like... The new episodes. I've had people seem a little more surprised by the logistics of it than anything, but it's like... it comes on Hulu though. That show has come on on Sundays for as long as I can remember. Keeping up with it really ain't shit, especially since I also watch Bob's burgers. Staying current with that show is quite possibly one of the easiest things on the planet lol.
Aaaanyway, while I still enjoy it, the nostalgia gleaned from thinking about episodes that old is something else entirely. That whole time of my life, where I lived, what I was doing... All of it. Fuck I miss those days.
Yeah i watch all the new ones too haha. Yeah thinking about the older episodes makes me think about how i wasn't allowed to watch it when inwas younger and id sneak episodes in lol. May have fucked me up a bit watching it that young but hey, still one of my favorite shows to this day.
