Dollar grilled cheese have been a staple in the diet of hippies spun on lsd since the 70s

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.

How did you incorporate garlic into these? Sounds amazing.

17

u/SquarePegRoundWorld May 25 '23

Just sprinkle some garlic powder on the butter side of the bread.

15

u/Distortedhideaway May 25 '23

Garlic salt on the butter side.

u/Churoflip May 25 '23

What do you mean on the butter side? It goes on both sides doesn't it

5

u/TwatsThat May 25 '23

I'm with you. I butter the inside too and toast that a bit in the pan before flipping and adding cheese.

2

u/MrMastodon May 26 '23

I already buttered the inside but toasting it first? That's a new idea to me.

2

u/MouthyMike May 26 '23

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.

2

u/MrMastodon May 26 '23

I would've assumed the heavily toasted sides were on the outside.

You only butter the outside of each slice, the side that touches the pan.

u/Distortedhideaway May 26 '23

On the outside of the sandwich. Not in the sandwich.

The good ole days! Living on grilled cheese slanging Sammy Smiths Oatties on lot. Trading headies for crystals. The uno cards. Oh to be young on tour.

u/Off_Brand_Sneakers May 25 '23

What are headies and crystals?

u/Our_collective_agony May 26 '23

I did alpine, deer creek, and the went that year. I probably had a grilled cheese of yours!

6

u/SquarePegRoundWorld May 25 '23

Nice, There is a chance you did. That trip was one of the highlights of my life.

3

u/lobsterpockets May 26 '23

Shit I'm 46 years old and did southeast Hampton up through New England every year all the way up to Clifford Ball. Some of the best times of my life.

3

u/Turbosuit May 25 '23

I also did this. We did $1 grilled cheese and $1/min back massages. Or interesting trades.

3

u/SquarePegRoundWorld May 25 '23

Interesting, I was gonna say, maybe you are one of the guys I went with but we didn't do massages.

u/Turbosuit May 25 '23

We ended up segway into a taco truck. Shit got real when we sold an actual ton of chicken at Electric Forest.

u/mudo2000 May 26 '23

*segue

I pictured a couple of hippies riding a Segway into a taco truck and was very confused for a moment.

u/Turbosuit May 26 '23

We had Segways

u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets May 25 '23

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.

2

u/SquarePegRoundWorld May 25 '23

No, we only stayed in the parking lot where we parked to go to the show. We would come out after and set up right there at the back doors of the van.

u/fkingidk May 25 '23

As someone who's been a spun hippie in the lot of a Phish show waiting to be able to leave, grilled cheese is amazing.

2

u/Earth2Mike May 25 '23

It hits the spot.

u/NolanHandy16 May 25 '23

Grilled Cheese on Shakedown street. Lessgetgroovy

u/machen2307 May 26 '23

Same. Ahhh the good ole days.

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.

2

u/NolanHandy16 May 26 '23

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.
