Our Kent breakfast at the Little City
Grill wasn’t everything for which we had been hoping. Meeting is
over, after a quick visit with friends, we figure lunch might save
the day. It made an effort. Twisted Meltz is located in Acorn Alley.
While I never read the books, Steph made me watch the movies and the
actual little stretch that is Acorn Alley always makes me think I am
taking Harry Potter to pick out his wand. |

Located in the defunct hot dog shop I had visited earlier (zero surprise) Twisted Meltz does what I had wished I had found at Melt in Cleveland…interesting grilled cheese. Melt was much more inventive but smothered the tasty insides with so much grilled cheese I had trouble noticing. Twisted Meltz isn’t as creative and the fillings were missing little touches to bring it all together but they had a more successful sandwich overall.
Check their menu online and you will find multiple options for
breads, cheeses, meats, toppings and sauces. There is a second page
of celebrity named options with fixed ingredients. The sandwich
names are interesting, I don’t really understand what attaches the
name to each sandwich but the names make ordering easier. I checked
and they are Kent attendees but it’s hard to imagine them each
having chosen these combinations. |
The place isn’t laid out all that well. The service is hectic but
sincere and active. There is a little ice cream shop attached. I
first thought they should have used the space for much needed
seating but they seemed to be doing brisk trade in the frosty stuff
too. |

The Steve Harvey has a wonderfully crusty panko breaded chicken filet and comes with bacon, cheddar, white American cheese and a spicy mayo. Again, pretty good, but I never really picked up enough of the spice in the mayo to make a difference, which I imagine would be significant. We turned this one into a meal with a fountain beverage and battered fries. The fries were steaming hot and fluffy with a light crispy exterior. Not bad at all.
The Josh Cribbs features a fried turkey that is so tender it nears
stupid. They top it with ham, bacon, Swiss and Muenster cheeses, and
the spicy mayo. It was the fav for both of us and I’m thinking about
the other half sitting in the fridge right now. I do think I’m going
to rummage through the fridge to see if I can find what I would ask
for on a future visit to drive the nail home for me. Twisted Meltz
isn’t as twisted as I might hope but their melts are a solid base
for a really nice option in Kent.
