"Really Cheesy-Really Crunchy Mac & Cheese"

                        
Hey again guys! I realize that I just updated my last post this morning... but then I was going through my pictures and came across this wonderful meal that I had a few weeks ago and I really wanted to express with all of you how obsessed I am with this Mac & Cheese.

I was meeting my friend Adrie for dinner after work and we decided to go to Max Brenner's! For everyone who lives in the New York/New Jersey Area you may have already heard of this delicious tourist trap located on Broadway, between 13th and 14th Street in Union Square

Max Brenner's is basically a chocolate restaurant! Who wouldn't want to eat here honestly..! They have everything chocolate you could possibly want, whether it be frozen hot chocolate, chocolate pizza or even a chocolate syringe (like a shot of chocolate pretty much).

This place is actually amazing and it wasn't until I came here with my parents a few years ago that I realized they had real food too! I will say that it is definitely a challenge to have real food, which is all delicious, and then save room for anything chocolate that your heart could desire! Somehow, I manage to do this every time...So back to the amazing mac & cheese that I had here. On the menu it's called "Really Cheesy- Really Crunchy Mac & Cheese" and not only is this the best mac & cheese ever in my opinion, but there's more... it comes with chopped tomatoes and bacon (probably not the healthiest option on the menu, but I promise it's worth it) and they also give you a side of marinara sauce in a little test tube container. Every time I order this i get WAY WAY too excited and I can smell it coming from a mile away! As soon as I get it, I pour the diced tomatoes and bacon on the top and then I take the marinara sauce and make sure I evenly distribute it around the whole thing.  I know this might sound a little gross but it is SO GOOD!!! The tomatoes add a juicy bite to the creamy & crunchy mac & cheese, the bacon gives the dish a little bit of saltiness and the marinara sauce helps to balance out the extreme amount of cheesiness you are putting in your mouth! It is a pretty big portion so I usually end up taking the rest home. But don't worry -- it tastes just as delicious when you heat it up the next day! Okay I'm done with my mac & cheese rant now, but please go try this sometime. It is definitely at the top of my list!
