City of Torrance Shoos Away Grilled Cheese Truck
Hungry South Bay citizens hoping to get some “cheesy goodness” are expressing their discontent with the City of Torrance on Facebook.
Earlier this week The Grilled Cheese Truck, the popular gourmet sandwich shop on wheels, reported via Twitter that a scheduled stop in Torrance was being cancelled. Followers to their Twitter feed were directed to Facebook for more details.
Grilled Cheese Truck Explains the Situation on Facebook.
Apparently the City of Torrance was requiring the mobile vendor to acquire a special event permit. The short argument from Grilled Cheese? The parking lot is private and they were invited by the owners of the property.
In the end, Grilled Cheese opted to cool their ovens and cancel the event.
Just over 100 Facebook fans voiced their disappointment with the situation by leaving comments. Follow this link (to Facebook) to read the entire comment thread.
Responding positively to their sandwich-chasing constituents, the Grilled Cheese team looked forward stating, “We’re going to find out exactly what’s needed and do our best to make this work for everyone. Sometimes it’s just about T’s and I’s… We’ll cross and dot both of them and get to meltin…”.
Will we see Grilled Cheese Truck melting in Torrance soon? Stay tuned!

When the municipal government behaves ludicrously unreasonably, you can bet that there’s a fat campaign contribution that makes the decision far more sensible in the mind of the city officials. Keep the pressure on this corrupt officials and they’ll have no choice but to bow to the will of the people or be thrown out of office.

That’s crazy! WOw, you would think they (government) would have other stuff to worry about in Torrance. I got an email alert this week about students being followed to North High, maybe they could start there! Do Better.
