Chef Scotty Scott, known for his soulful and inventive approach to food, has launched a cheese-lover’s dream in Fort Worth with a new culinary concept that reimagines comfort food through a gourmet lens. Aptly named Abe Fromage—a playful shorthand for “Always Be Eating Fromage”—this vibrant new eatery is a tribute to all things cheese, delivering rich, bold flavors with a creative twist. Opened in March, the spot quickly became a standout in the city’s thriving food scene, thanks to Scott’s reputation and a menu that’s anything but ordinary.
At the heart of Abe Fromage is the grilled cheese sandwich, but forget the standard slice of American on white bread. This is cheese elevated to art. The menu features a range of grilled cheese creations, each thoughtfully layered and cooked to perfection. Highlights include a smoky, savory chicken grilled cheese; a decadent sloppy joe rendition with deeply seasoned beef and molten cheese; and a vegetarian favorite featuring aged gouda, honey crisp apples, and mint on crusty sourdough. One of the most inventive offerings is the Hot N’ Honey, which blends smoked gouda with salted honeycomb and habanero for a balance of heat, sweetness, and umami.
Beyond grilled cheese, Abe Fromage dives into indulgent sandwiches with a Southern soul. The Abe Burger arrives stacked with juicy beef and melty Havarti cheese, while specials like the duck bacon BLT and the pickled shrimp po’ boy push boundaries and palates. Even the hot dog gets a glow-up, topped with creamy guacamole and crispy onions for a Tex-Mex spin.
Desserts and sides carry the same attention to flavor and detail. Duck fat roasted potatoes are crisped to perfection and served with house-made chimichurri aioli. For something sweet, brown butter chocolate chip cookies and salted caramel sugar cookies offer a comforting finish to the meal.
The setting adds to the charm. Located in Fort Worth’s Near Southside district, Abe Fromage operates from a food truck stationed at a local natural wine bar, creating an intimate and casual environment that pairs perfectly with Scott’s laid-back but refined cuisine. Guests can enjoy their meals on the patio with a glass of chilled pét-nat or orange wine, elevating the grilled cheese experience into something special.
Scott, a self-taught chef and author, brings a unique perspective to the menu—one shaped by his upbringing, culinary curiosity, and deep appreciation for community. Abe Fromage is more than a food truck; it’s a love letter to nostalgia, innovation, and the universal appeal of cheese.
For those looking to host events or enjoy a group feast, catering packages are available, with options to mix and match sandwiches, sides, and sweets. Whether you’re planning a casual backyard gathering or a more upscale celebration, Abe Fromage brings a sense of playful sophistication to the table.
With a menu that’s as fun as it is flavorful and a concept rooted in joy and comfort, Abe Fromage has quickly established itself as one of Fort Worth’s most exciting new food ventures. Whether you’re a die-hard cheese fanatic or simply in search of something deliciously different, this is a spot worth tracking down—and savoring, bite by melty bite.
