Photo of the Day: Parmageddon Sandwich
It is REALLY good. My husband had it the last time we went to Melt.

I just discovered goya mojo and it is really good. i would use that and maybe finish with some fresh lime juice when you take it off the grill.
I love Hudson's! Really great crab legs and hush puppies. http://www.hudsonsonthedocks.com/
this place really is special, one of the few i miss now that i have moved...i would also recommend the burgers; i know, anyone can do a burger, but imagine the waken bacon with a juicy, thick burger in the middle, its a little bit of heaven
wookie - just be sure not to go during peak meal times. The kitchen is VERY small and the restaurant recently expanded to include even more seats, while the kitchen remains very small so you can be looking at 2 hours just to wait to get a seat and then it's usually an hour wait for your food. If you go during non-peak times, you don't have the wait for a seat, just the wait for the food, which in those instances is well worth it. I love melt but I'm not waiting 3 hours for dinner anywhere.
I just google-mapped the drive and it will take me 5 hours and 10 minutes to get to Lakewood. I'm thinking about calling up one of my girlfriends whose parents live in Cleveland just to see if she's going home for Thanksgiving...if she is, I'm calling Melt to see if they are open that weekend and I'm spending Thanksgiving with the Newells and Friday lunch at Melt.
I need to eat this sandwich at least once before I die.
We Clevelanders all have our favorites at Melt but nobody's is the parmageddon - as anysuchname said, too much bread/dough. The wake-n-bacon is the best sandwich on the menu, and if you are a vegetarian, I think the mushroom melt is the best. It's hard for me to get anything else there as I am always wavering between those two sandwiches.
sorry, but the mushroom melt is the best sandwich there:

the idea of the pierogie in there is good, but it's too much bread/dough/potato.
i moved away, but i'm trying to eat through the menu every time i go home. LOVE melt.
and thatgrrl -- yes, parma, ohio. never heard it called parmageddon? it's one of my favorites.
@ carrie, no -- not too far. You could try to make this at home, but, being in Cleveland while eating a pierogi sandwich is half the joy. Such polish pride up there, it's awesome. That, and the pierogis are as big as your hand. Not like the ones from the freezy section of the store.
@ thatgrrl -- has to be. Cleveland restaurants love to name menu items after suburbs all the time. It was the first thing that crossed my mind after reading the description of the dish.
At first, the sandwich confused me with the picture, I couldn't recognize the 'mystery meat', but then reading that it was a pierogi sandwich -- something I thought only I secretly enjoyed in the privacy of my dimly lit bachelorette pad late at night -- I got goosebumps. YUMMMM. I'm so going there, pronto. It'll be nice to 'come out' about my pierogi love.
The name confused me at first- no parmesan, no Parma ham- then it occurred to me that perhaps it's a play on Parma, a west-side burb that used to have a large polish population. Can anyone confirm?
hmm, i wonder if lakewood, ohio is too far to go to lunch from houston?
I drink chai tea lattes all day long, but with PB&J never, ice cold milk rules w/PB&Js.
