Last week I had a super fun day subbing at one of the schools in the district I work for, and decided that rather than cooking, we deserved a great night out for dinner. Since I had heard from my friends at STACKED, FOOD WELL BUILT that it’s Macovember, we had to participate in creating our own personalized Mac N Cheese.
We were invited to create our own entrees and I was certainly up for the challenge, but STACKED already has a Mac N Cheese entree that I’m already in love with. So I decided to add a few of my favorite ingredients to personalize it. Have you had their Lobster Mac N Cheese? For me, it’s absolute heaven in a bowl. Imagine, HUGE chunks of fresh lobster, roma tomatoes, parmesan bread crumbs mixed with pasta. Then, to add my own touch, I decided it needed some sauteed mushrooms and onions. It was so rich and full of flavor down to the last bite. I shared only one little bite with my hubby – it ended up being a favorite of his too.
The kids get a little picky with their Mac N Cheese, so we decided they should stick with the typical kids meal which included a side of carrots and ranch as well as small pile of french fries. I love that they offer two sides for the kids, and ecstatic when my munchkins chose to eat the carrots first.
The hubster, had to be different, decided to order something a little different than his normal fare. That night he decided on the Chicken Cobb Sandwich, but added his own touch.
His selection included grilled chicken, blue cheese, roma tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, cherrywood smoked bacon and a teriyaki sauce for a twist, piled on a brioche bun. Upon the first bite, he declared his creation the best chicken sandwich he’s ever had.
We were all in the mood for fries, so garlic fries it was, but our waiter decided to surprise us with his favorite dipping sauce to accompany our fries. If by chance you decide to get the garlic fries, you HAVE to get a side of the garlic aioli dressing’ it’s a MUST!
