The High Tech Grilled Cheese Restaurant

What is a entrepreneur to do after he makes a fortune from his Flip camera company? Start his own high-tech grilled cheese restaurant, of course. Or at least, that's what Jonathan Kaplan is doing with "The Melt" restaurant he's launching. The fast food eatery will offer a variety of cheese sandwiches that can be cooked up in under a minute. Plus, customers will be able to order their food over the phone or internet ahead of time.

I don't know about you, but I'd be happy to stop by and snack on a yummy cheese sandwich if one of these popped up in my neck of the woods.

For years, there was 'Chedds' in Denver that offered "gourmet grilled cheese". Choice from 10+ breads, 30+ Wisconsin cheeses and a variety of toppings. The original went out, but a couple franchises remain I believe.

@Cass: That's what I thought too! I've eaten at both the Eastside and Westside Melt restaurants in Cleveland. Their specialty, however, is definitely not "fast food" or "sandwiches that can be cooked up in under a minute." It usually takes over an hour just to get a table, and then more time for your order to arrive. It is good though, and they have a great selection of beers. I like their Chorizo and Potato grilled cheese.

I'm from Ohio and like the real Melt. No fake startups for me.

Can't beat pierogies and cheese.
