We've never met a dairy product or carbohydrate we didn't like - and when April encourages us to make a marriage of those two devine culinary categories, we must acquiesce. Here's how to celebrate the best combination of all time.

The Traditional:
Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup at Wolf Creek
This go-to gooey, melty twist on a classic features sourdough with a four-cheese blend of gouda, mozzarella, brie and fontina grilled with Cajun butter and served with homemade tomato basil soup.
Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company 263-9653

The Revisionist:
Flatbread at Old Town Junction
It's grilled - and there's cheese - along with tomato jam, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, basil, red onion and balsamic.
Old Town Junction 702-4888

The Americana:
Southern Pork Belly Grilled Cheese at Slater's 50/50
Sink your teeth into pimento cheese, crispy pork belly, jalapeno-bacon jam and pickled red onions stuffed into sourdough bread with pickles on the side.

The Deconstructed:
Skillet Mac & Cheese at The Local
This piping-hot mix of macaroni, gruyere cheese, havarti cheese, Vermont white cheddar and bread crumbs has all the best elements of a grilled cheese - skillet style.
