C'est Cheese Food Truck

I was drawn in by the clever, punny name. Because who can resist?I was convinced to get lunch when I discovered it was a grilled cheese truck. Because this Wisconsin gal LOVES some cheese.It was decided what I would order when I saw the worn "Bacon" on the menu. And another pun?! Bacon Me Crazy, indeed!My only wish was the sandwich felt like it was missing a little...something...to really make it outstanding! It was certainly good and a great meal choice at the City Flea. Just something a little more (garlic...balsamic...i can't quite put my finger on it...) would have really pushed it to five stars.

I caught this truck during last weekends "Cincy Beerfest" down in Washington Park, though there were a few shops around that sounded really good, I have heard so many good things about C'est Cheese that I knew I had to try it. Plus they had "The New One" on their rotation that day - cheddar, roast beef, and "creamy horseradish" on tuscan bread. That, despite the oppressive heat, sounded like exactly what I needed/was craving. If I'm going to eat a big boy grilled cheese let's make it as big boy as possible, throw some fancy cream and sharp cheese on there! The service was great, smiling faces despite the fact that it was even hotter over the grill (I've worked in restaurants over fries and grills, never done it in a box truck when it's 90+ before the humidity... respect for that!), and the food came out pretty quick (estimate was ~7 minute wait, took about 5).For $7 the sandwich was a good size, and looked about perfect, little bits of cheese peeking around the golden crusted toast. Unfortunately, I think it could have used a bit more of a cook, because the cheese wasn't the oeey gooey greatness you want with a great cheddar grilled cheese, it was more like it had melted and resolidified into a thicker, slightly softer, chunk of cheddar. Likewise, the roast beef was pretty skimpy and a little uneven, the first half had a thin piece running across it, and the second half (in order that I ate that is) had a big piece doubled up over on itself in the middle, and not much more otherwise. To keep the theme going, the "Creamy horseradish" was really really good... on the parts of the sandwich I could taste it! I would have really liked a lot more than the seemingly little zigzag they had put across it, because the few pockets where you'd hit that flavor combined for a perfect bite. The one thing that was consistent, the bread was wonderful, with crisp toasted edges and a nice crunch. Everything about the food was pretty good, but just not quite right at any one time. If I were to reorder I'd definitely ask for extra sauce and maybe even pay for double meat, because this sandwich has serious indulging promise. As I got it though, not quite the "Best food truck in the city" performance I was expecting, though the staff did their best to make up for that! I'd be more than happy to try them again, but for now they're a 3.5 stars, bumped up to 4 for that service.

So if you know me and my likes, I'm a carb girl. Gimme all the carbs and c'est cheese is right up my alley. I'm a fan of the classic grilled cheese and it's probably one of my favorite basic foods so when I hear that there's a food truck serving up their own take on the classic I was more than ready to experience it.While waiting in line I had an internal debate on what to get. Go for the classic "cheesy wonder" with a blend of 4 cheeses on Tuscan pane bread or go adventurous with a blend of honey mustard and ham. Not sure the name of that one considering it must be new or a test because I'm not seeing it on the menu anywhere else. So that makes it bittersweet about my decision of going for the "cheesy wonder." But also it was so good I was more than happy enjoying every one of those cheeses inside that Sammie. It was perfectly toasted and filled with ooey, gooey cheese. They'll be at this years Taste of Cincinnati so be sure to grab a Sammie at this years to get a taste of your own!

After a couple of nights enjoying Ault Park's summer dance series, I was finally able to sample a few sandwiches from C'est Cheese mobile grilled cheese food truck bus. The bus has been in operation for a little over a year and prepares all the sandwiches fresh to order.My personal choice on this most recent visit was the PHD, ham, cheddar cheese and brown mustard on Tuscan pane ($6). The mustard added a nice bite to the otherwise fairly standard grilled ham and cheese. The sandwich was filling, though a bag of chips definitely helps round out the meal.My personal favorite and the sandwich we have ordered during both visits is the Bee Sting. This sandwich combines mozzarella, pepperoni, basil infused honey with chili flaked butter on Tuscan pane ($6). The mix of sweet flavors from the honey mixes perfectly with the spiciness from the pepperoni and chili flakes. This is my go to sandwich.Our son enjoys half of the Cheesy Wonder, which is a blend of four cheeses again on Tuscan pane ($5). Again the sandwiches are pretty large, so there is no way he can finish the entire sandwich, but I always enjoy the leftovers. This is a fairly standard grilled cheese, but I appreciate the mix of cheeses to give it somewhat of a better taste. Still the specialty sandwiches are where it's at.Overall, I have enjoyed my two stops at C'est Cheese and would gladly order more sandwiches from them in the future. Get the Bee Sting, you will not be disappointed.

Rolling out the carpet for their debut at Night Owl Market, C'est Cheese is one of the newest food trucks to hit Cincinnati streets. The theme: you guessed it; everything is made of cheesy goodness.Owner Emily Frank returned to her hometown after living in Chicago to pursue per passion of cooking. C'est Cheese premiered its line of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and flavored pickles. I was customer #2 to give their truck a try, and I must say, it was delight at first bite.I ordered The Bee Sting: mozzarella, pepperoni, basil, honey, and chili butter on Tuscan Pane. I also went for a side of homemade Indian Curry Pickles. Six thick slices of cucumbers marinate (and pickle) in Emily's own special sauce. She has three flavor varieties to choose from.I was enthralled with the mix of flavors in my meal, and was glad I made the decision to eat here first during Night Owl Market. The sandwich was gooey and flavorful; each ingredient could be tasted, the bread was lightly toasted, and it was not the least bit greasy. This may be the first time I say I felt healthy eating a grilled cheese.Emily and her staff are cheerful and friendly; I look forward to seeing them flourish in the city. As their motto goes: "There's nothing a grilled cheese & flat iron can't fix."Price per person: $8.50

Point me in the direction of the grilled cheese, it is one of my favorite foods and this food truck made me so happy! The punny name draws you in and the delicious looking menu items hooks you and you can't walk away. I shared the Bacon Me Crazy (gooey cheese, bacony goodness together...that is my happy place). There were two ladies working in the truck and they had quite a line. They were friendly and speedy. My grilled cheese was cheesey, bacony, spinachy, but it felt like it was missing something...I can't say what, but there was something else needed to just knock it out of the park with me. Still good though. I would love to go back to Cinicinnati and try EVERYTHING on their menu!

I have been trying to catch up with C'est Cheese since last year....and I finally got to try it tonight over at Madtree Brewing. What goes better with great beer than great cheese....and grilled cheese is definitely great cheese.I tried their new sandwich the Nacho Mamma. The Nacho Mamma has LOTS of cheddar cheese, jalapeno peppers, black beans, sour cream, chives, salsa, and corn chips for some crunch. This sandwich was definitely worth the wait. The amount of cheese was just enough that it was still stringy with every bite, but it didn't overwhelm the other ingredients in this sandwich. This tastes exactly what it sounds like. It has the spice of the jalapenos and salsa along with slight flavor of the black beans and sour cream that you would expect in tasty nachos.I will definitely have to track down C'est Cheese again many more times to get to try out each of their other offerings on the menu.

I drove out to Mason on Thursday where they were having a little food truck gathering in front of Whole Foods. After surveying the parked food trucks, C'est Cheese was our first stop. We went with the So Gouda - as the name suggests, it was very good. Decent-sized sandwich for the price.

I may be 31 years old but I love grilled cheese. In fact, I often talk about how I eat like a really sophisticated six-year-old, and the Bee Sting, my favorite grilled cheese sandwich in the history of ever, is a really sophisticated grilled cheese.C'est Cheese is one of my favorite food trucks in the city (and there are plenty of great ones), and I absolutely love what they bring to the table. All of the menu items I've had have been delicious, service is always great, prices are reasonable, and you can count on C'est Cheese being in attendance at events at Washington Park (e.g. The City Flea) and various food festivals (Taste of Cincinnati).

Back when she began there was a way to see her location and specials for the day. Thanks to my co-worker for introducing me to such a gourmet grilled cheese. Really wish I could locate her food truck
