Husband brought home some lobster macaroni & cheese for me from a business dinner. He knows I LOVE mac&cheese.
It was ok. I mean even a “bad” mac&cheese is a good mac & cheese :)
Mac & cheese is like risotto it seems. Many chefs feel they need to fancify it for their foodie tastes. So they add all sorts of weird stuff that has no business in either of them.
I’ve had risotto that some people might rave about that I was pretty turned off by. But it’s the simple that I like – pea risotto made using the Cipriani recipe is better than any gross seafood risotto made by some stupid, self-important chef in SF.
And a simple baked, rich cheesy mac&cheese is way better than some over the top version looking to be less “middle-class”. I’ll be making a yummy one for my Superbowl party that’s much yummier…in my opinion. But truthfully…I prefer the Kraft blue box or Stouffer’s to most foodies desperate attempts to not be so middle class or regular. Meh.
Obviously this is a personal choice. Some people want the exotic. They choose the exotic or different when the simple is so much better.
So in the end, I had a couple bites but the huskies were pretty stoked on the doggie bag of fancy food. :)
