Chef Dave Danhi is the founder and culinary force behind The Grilled Cheese Truck, which has gained significant popularity both locally and internationally. The truck has earned numerous accolades, including “Best Food Truck” over eight times from various media outlets and review guides, such as CBSLA.com (2012), LA Times Readers’ Choice Award (2011), Klout.com “Most Influential Food Truck” (2010 & 2011), LA Hot List (2011), ABC Channel 7 (2010), and MobileCravings.com (2010), to name a few. With 30 years of experience in the restaurant and food industry, Mr. Danhi’s melts have been featured on numerous lists, recognizing them as some of the best grilled cheese creations in the industry. He is also the architect of The Grilled Cheese Truck’s social media initiatives, with the truck ranked as the third most influential “tweeter” in Los Angeles and one of the most followed food trucks on Facebook and Twitter worldwide.
In 2005, Mr. Danhi acquired DD Factor, a hospitality recruiting company established in Los Angeles in 1959. The company has since played an integral role in identifying management talent for Southern California restaurants. Mr. Danhi’s culinary career includes serving as Corporate Chef at King’s Seafood Company from 1996 to 1999 and as Opening Chef at Habana Restaurant in Costa Mesa, a Nuevo Latino restaurant named Best New Restaurant in Orange County in 1995. He also held the role of Executive Chef at the now Michelin-starred Water Grill from 1996 to 1998. Earlier in his career, Mr. Danhi was Executive Chef at the Roxbury Supper Club in Hollywood from 1990 to 1992 and at Georgia restaurant, also in Hollywood, from 1993 to 1995. At Georgia, he earned numerous accolades, including the Robert Mondavi Award of Culinary Excellence (naming him one of the country’s top rising star chefs in 1994), Best Restaurant of the Year in 1993 by magazines such as Bon Appétit, Esquire, and Travel + Leisure, and Best Crab Cakes in Los Angeles for two consecutive years.
