If anything is clear about our readers, it’s that they love a good macaroni and cheese recipe.
Not only is Poole’s macaroni and cheese recipe among the most popular recipes we have ever published.
But just in the last month or so, I’ve had requests from readers to get the mac-n-cheese recipes from Shane’s Rib Shack, The Pit, Beasley’s Chicken and Honey, all in Raleigh, N.C., and Tobacco Road Sports Cafe in Durham, N.C. (In fact, I’m sure there are similar requests that I cannot find in my inbox right now.)
It’s no wonder. Macaroni and cheese is the classic indulgent dish that restaurants do better than home cooks. Most chefs don’t worry about fat or salt content when creating dishes; their main concern is taste. Meanwhile, many home cooks scour ingredient labels or fret about how to cut calories in such a decadent dish.
