The Grilled Cheese Battle

	Taser Grilled Cheese	Mom’s Grilled Cheese
Location	Main St and Terminal Avenue	Howe and West Georgia
Sidekicks	None – today – just me, but because this is across from the office I have gathered some additional intel	Kat and Secret Sidekick
Food Ordered	The Vampire’s Bite	Tara - The Daily Special – The Hot Angie Kat and Secret Sidekick made their own
The Verdict	Yummy!  Said to have a cult following, it is easy to understand why!  The friendly owner has created a few simple twists on an amazing thing; these sandwiches are a perfect blend of the right amount of cheese and are definitely worth every penny!  The overall verdict in the office is that we love all of the sandwiches that Yasmin turns out!	I loved my sandwich.  Hot Capicola, hot peppers and Havarti on sourdough bread – yum!  It lasted me 2 whole meals it was so rich and filling.  I also loved that it came with fresh made potato chips and a pickle. My sidekicks both loved their sandwiches.  Secret Sidekick said there was a little too much cheese and had to take some out because it was too rich. I also tried the Sweet Tea – I loved the combination of flavours.
Favourite Thing about this Truck	The price point!  Easily the best deal around as far as food carts are concerned and for the variety that Taser offers it is one of those secret gems in our city!	The handmade potato chips and the fact that it there are root beer floats on the menu!  I will definitely be stopping to try one after work one of these days!
Accessibility	Right outside of the Main Street Science World skytrain station.  Great for all Vancity Employees as it right across the street from our office.	Robson street outside of the Art Gallery – accessible to those of you in the downtown core and only a few blocks away from the skytrain stations at Burrard and Granville
Overall Rating	5/5	4/5

AND THE WINNER IS…

In my mind – which may be contrary to much of the buzz in the city – I feel that as an all-around cart Taser takes the cheese so to speak.  The balance of ingredients, creative solutions yet commitment to simplicity and the price point make a more well-rounded lunch experience.  Also, because of location, it often doesn’t take 45 mins to get a sandwich from Taser like it does from Mom’s. I do love both of these carts though – who doesn’t like grilled cheese?

Get out there and try them both to determine who you think the winner is!
