Pairing Mac and Cheese correctly — a note on craft IPA
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Mac and Cheese. I ordered it with craft IPA and the rich and indulgent elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. sourdough bread in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Restaurant review — Mac and Cheese that actually delivered
I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Mac and Cheese well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The sweet and tangy base was authentic and the use of smoked brisket showed real knowledge.

First time trying Mac and Cheese — completely converted
I had never tried Mac and Cheese before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The bold and smoky taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. sharp cheddar is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

Underwhelming Mac and Cheese — expected more
I was looking forward to Mac and Cheese here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The sweet and tangy character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with sourdough bread or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Home cooking attempt — Mac and Cheese from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Mac and Cheese from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting hot sauce right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The rich and indulgent result was rewarding once I got it right.

Decent Mac and Cheese — nothing more, nothing less
Mac and Cheese at this place was fine. The sweet and tangy flavour was there but not distinguished. sourdough bread was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Spice level warning — Mac and Cheese is not what I expected
I underestimated Mac and Cheese. The generously seasoned description didn't prepare me for the reality. hot sauce brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
