If you have never considered grilled cheese sandwiches to be a gourmet meal item, then prepare to have your perceptions challenged at Cravings bistro in American Fork. The highly creative grilled cheese sandwiches are clearly the star at the bistro, but based on our experience it’s hard to imagine going wrong with anything on the menu. The Creamy Tomato Basil soup was divine as was the Sweet Almond Salad and the Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie a la Mode. As for the sandwiches, all grilled to perfection as advertised, we were blown away by the A.B.C. (which contained slices of Granny Smith apples, candied bacon and sharp cheddar cheese) and The Gourmet (spinach, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and a combo of feta, Parmesan and cheddar cheeses). After visiting Cravings, you will never look at grilled cheese sandwiches the same again.
