The Melt

"Life is complicated enough... so a simple, affordable meal like grilled cheese and soup is an easy way to make people happy." So says the founder of "The Melt," Jonathan Kaplan, who also invented the Flip phone. The first "Melt" opened in 2011 and, like most simple but good ideas, it's been a great success. Don't go too far past the name to understand this restaurant: they take good bread and good cheese and melt them together. The creativity comes in soup combo, such as "The Italian Job," which features Fontina and Provolone on Garlic Bread paired with a Sausage and Pepper Soup. Yum, yum and yum.
