"Papi Queso, a beloved food truck with a permanent location at Optimist Hall, doesn't serve your neighborhood diner's grilled cheese. Here, the sandwich is gussied up with the likes of mac 'n' cheese, pulled pork, bourbon onions, wild mushrooms, and white truffle spread. Even the cheeses go beyond the ordinary; think, fontina and Gruyère. It's all about the sandwiches here; though limited sides include fries, pickles, and tomato soup. Stop here to fuel up before embarking on a brewery crawl." - Nancy DePalma
