Wolfgang Puck's Shrimp BLT
Wolfgang's Irresistible Recipe: Shrimp BLT
Wolfgang's Fresh Twist: Seafood. "Believe it or not, the first time I started doing this was when I was designing my panini grill. I tried out many different recipes and one day, I thought, 'Why not put shrimp or lobster in a sandwich?' The BLT started as a lobster BLT, but since shrimp is less expensive, more available, and just as tasty, I thought it would be a good combination."

Cat Cora Sunday Cheese Steak Recipe
Cat's Note: If you want a traditionally cooked cheesesteak, wrap the rib eye in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove the steak from the freezer and cut it into very thin slices. Sauté the slices in olive oil with oregano, salt, and pepper.

Here, all the mouthwatering Greek salad essentials are stuffed into portable pita pockets. Be sure to include the fresh mint — it really lights up the sandwich. As a bonus, the lemony feta spread doubles as a dip that's fantastic with cool, crisp veggies, like cucumber, celery, or red bell pepper.

Tom Valenti's Cuban Panini
Tom's Irresistible Recipe: Cuban Panini
Tom's Fresh Twist: Fine ingredients. Chef Valenti's irresistible version uses fresh ciabatta — grilled so that it's crunchy yet soft — provolone cheese, peperoncini, pulled pork, and bread-and-butter pickles to create a perfect balance of hot, sour, spicy, and sweet.
