For those unaware, yesterday was a holiday that ranks almost as high as Thanksgiving in my book... almost. National Mac and Cheese Day. And no, I'm not making this up. I admit, I did not know of this day until this year, but now that I do, you can bet it gets a gold star in my planner.
How else would one celebrate other than to have the classic dish itself, but with a deliciously unconventional twist? In one of my previous posts, I talk about the Southern Mac and Cheese truck. Still one of my favorites, they didn't take the holiday lightly either. After discovering they were downtown in an especially accessible location, I took part. Even better, a coupon for free mac at their central hub, The Southern, was included with every purchase. Talk about a celebration.
Since I've had mac truck mac last, they have also branched out to include over 21 flavors and two sizes instead of their double-serving standard. For just $5, I can now get a single-size portion perfect for lunch and even splurge for an extra tub to take home for later. I opted for the truffle infused cheddar and was not left disappointed.
Move over, turkey.
