welcome

Tucked away in the corner of a strip of W. 7th Street in the Bishop Arts District, The Dallas Grilled Cheese Company humbly occupies the former Book Doctor digs. Two doors down from the oddly popular Oddfellows, Mack Simpson and his partners bring comfort food that travels across socio-economic lines.

Cape Cod transplant Jennifer Kunze takes the lead in the cholesterol laden kitchen. Appetizers, soups, salads, and sixteen cheesy sandwiches are complimented by 22 beers on tap and 12 signature cocktails.

Until today, thinking of a grilled cheese, I think of my mom’s served on a night that she and dad would be going out for the evening. Until today, thinking of a grilled cheese takes my mind to being seated at the counter in the Highland Park Pharmacy. But today, the simplicity of those sammies seems old school. Millennials want something different. Today’s patrons wants a twist. Young palates crave ingenuity. Our group tried a number of sixteen cheesy gooey selections. The Caprese was a highlight. Grilled sourdough is slathered with garlic compound butter, fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, fresh basil, and homemade basil pesto.

Another standout is D’s BSTC. Grilled sourdough with bacon, spinach, tomato, and gruyere come together to create a sandwich that mom and HP Pharmacy can only imagine! Of all the soups the Cheesy Brew Soup was the most unique. Celery, garlic, yellow onion, thyme, butter, heavy cream, and a local micro-brew marry to provide a create a great vessel for dunking any sandwich on the menu.

Comfort food made funky in a rustic setting made welcoming. Take the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge across the mighty Trinity River for a cheesy good time. Oh, that was a bit cheesy, wasn’t it?
