Melt
Melt is a food truck owned by Paget Pizitz and Harriet Reis. Founded in 2012, the truck began making regular stops in downtown Birmingham in early 2013 as well as various festivals in the area. Melt can also be hired as a caterer for events. Pizitz and Reis brought in chef Joey Dickerson to develop the menu, and he prepares a daily chef's special in addition to the normal grilled cheese menu. The truck is nicknamed "Matilda".
In 2013 the business began renovating the former Stephen's Garage on the corner of 41st Street and 4th Avenue South in Avondale for a full-service restaurant which opened in June 2014. Dungan Nequette Architects provided preliminary design sketches, and Say Jack Salvages completed the interior build-out. The space features recycled materials on the interior and a screened-in dining area under the former gas pump canopy.
