Cooking the Cover: Gourmet's Grilled Cheese
There is nothing as simply delicious as melted cheese and crispy bread.

Presented on a clean white plate with a pretty blue background, their uber grilled cheese features escarole, onion jam, and tallegio.

And yet, that little fact doesn't stop the chefs down at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
