According to chef and grill genius Francis Mallmann, the success of this incredibly simple dish--provolone seared in a cast-iron skillet until crisp, browned and melty--depends on the quality of the cheese itself. "You want a sharp, mature cheese that's about eight or nine months old," he says.

Ethan Stowell loves mussels all year round, but he's particularly fond of the plump summer ones from Washington's Puget Sound. "I often grab a couple handfuls of mussels at the end of the night and cook them at home for a late-night snack," he says. Here he flavors the briny mussels with lemon juice, fresh herbs and speck, the salty cured ham.

Fresh oregano has a compelling funkiness to it. Combined with shallot in a lemony vinaigrette, the oregano is superb with grilled chicken breasts.
