S'Mac

Raise your hand if you like macaroni and cheese! It is definitely a nostalgic food, taking you back to the blue box days, but it is all grown up now! Especially if you are in New York, you HAVE to stop by S'Mac. This is yet another place I found by watching The Food Network, this time however I was watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and it was comfort foods edition.

 The macaroni and cheese here comes served in a cute individual cast iron skillet. Hey, you gotta eat with your eyes first, right? And when you have bubbly cheesey goodness sitting right in front of you, how can you resist?

Since it was our first time we had to try them all, thankfully they had a sampler platter that even came with a cute little legend that you put in front of the skillet so you know what you are eating...genious!

You can't really see it, but the sampler came with:
La Mancha: A taste of Spain right at your fingertips! Flavorful Manchego cheese accented by fresh fennel and onions.
Parisienne: Mac-n-Cheese for the "upper crust". Creamy Brie, roasted figs, roasted shiitake mushrooms & fresh rosemary
Napoletana: Like Neapolitan Pizza? Then you'll love this! Fresh Mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, and fresh basil.
All American: Just the way you remember it as a kid! Nostalgia at its finest - a tasty blend of American & Cheddar cheeses.
Cheeseburger: For the Hearty Meat Eater! Cheddar and American cheeses combined with seasoned Ground Beef.
4 Cheese: Our four cheese delight! Cheddar, Muenster, Gruyere and a touch of Pecorino.
 Cajun: If you are looking for some kick, here it is. Cheddar & Pepper Jack cheeses, andouille sausage, green pepper, onions, celery, garlic and, of course, some genuine Cajun seasoning.
Alpine: A Swiss Mac that keeps you coming back for more. Gruyere coupled with its partner in crime, slab bacon.

We also ordered a small order of the Buffalo Chicken: Cheddar & American cheeses with boneless chicken pieces and buffalo wing sauce. We’ll even top it off with crumbled blue cheese if you’d like!

Next time I go (because I will definitely be going back) I will keep it simple and probably just order the 4 cheese.
