Beans running into mac and cheese = okay bbq sauce running into mac and cheese = okay bbq meat on a layer of mac and cheese = amazing
Here is a great item at a bad restaurant: Applebee's 4-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders
If anyone has been to Bear's BBQ in CT (amazing), they have "the Mac Attack" where you pick any meat and sauce and they cover your mac and cheese with it. Burnt ends over mac and cheese is heaven I guess i should be chatting in the food thread now
Now that we're thoroughly off-topic, I'm going to keep talking about mac'n'cheese. We had a catered function for work last December and part of the catering was a mac'n'cheese bar with 3 types of mac/cheese combos (shells & gouda, elbows & parm/white cheddar, rotini & cheddar) plus a ton of toppings (bacon, sausage, shrimp, mushrooms, peas, peppers, broccoli, etc) you could add yourself. Served in martini glasses.
Last time I was in St. Louis my friend took me to a restaurant and everything on the menu was Mac and cheese with stuff mixed in.
"bacon, tomatoes, mayonnaise, beans, mustard, grilled onions and jalapeño sauce" Sonoran dog. I talk about them too much here.
what do y'all do when you order a hotdog and then get to the condiments station and all that's there is ketchup? just go dry?
