When Matt Fish started Melt Bar and Grilled, he heard about a club that his favorite band had created: get a tattoo of the band, and get in free to any gig for life. Matt adapted it for Melt and posted his logo for his restaurant patrons to use as a template.
Ten years later, he's got close to 800 hungry fans who have been tattooed with the Melt logo, earning themselves 25% off Melt food for life.
To celebrate, Matt threw them a party and offered- what else? More free food. The Melt Family Reunion recognizes just how crazy some people are for grilled cheese done right.
Walk into any Melt Bar and Grilled and you'll see art by local artists: murals by Jake Kelly, neon by Dana Depew, sandwich posters by John G, and anniversary posters by Derek Hess.
For the Melt (Art) Challenge, PopEye Gallery curator Josh Usmani put the word out and 30 different area artists submitted Melt-themed art which was judged by Melt honcho Matt Fish and the four artists above, with prizes ranging from Melt for a day to Melt for a year. Stop in at 78th St. Studios through 10/21.
Matt Fish is at it again.
Melt Bar and Grilled has opened another mouth-watering location right in the heart of Downtown Cleveland.
