You want to do the recession right? You've got to learn to eat Spam. Already, sales of the canned spiced ham (that spice is...salt!) are at the highest since World War II, and they're just going to get higher. Since there's no advice on the can, I asked some of the best chefs in the nation to come up with an inexpensive Spam recipe. I was with Brandon Boudet of Dominick's in Los Angeles when he tried his hand at Spamghetti carbonara, and we were both happy with the way it turned out. I was also impressed with the eight recipes the other chefs submitted. Almost impressed enough to cook them myself.

Almost.

We ate SPAM when were kids and I wasn't too crazy about it then so doubt I'd like it now.
