The Pioneer Woman

10 Best Grilled Cheese Recipes That Are Ooey, Gooey Perfection

A Pioneer Woman roundup of ten grilled cheese variations, from an air fryer version and Ree Drummond's crispy double-cheese method (cheese on the outside of the bread too) to a loaded one with potato chips, bacon, and raspberry jam. It also stretches the category to cousins like the patty melt, croque monsieur, Monte Cristo, and a caprese panini, plus an Irish version with Irish cheddar and mustard. Each entry is a short blurb linking to a full recipe, so it's useful as a menu of ideas rather than as instructions.

The MoCo Show

Three Maryland Delis Named Among the Best in America - The MoCo Show

Cheapism's customer-based ranking of the "27 Best Delis Across America" includes three Maryland spots: Attman's Delicatessen (Baltimore and Park Potomac), Chick & Ruth's Delly in Annapolis, and Parkway Deli in Silver Spring. Attman's, founded in 1915 and still family-run, was praised for its sprawling menu and combo sandwiches. Chick & Ruth's is known for house-baked bread, sandwiches named after local politicians, and a "Colossal" Reuben-and-milkshake eating challenge. Parkway, open since 1963 and run by the founder's grandsons, was noted for oversized sandwiches and its Food Network exposure, and it still keeps its original menu, when corned beef cost $1.15.
