It's been a staple of American cuisine for about a century, the blue-boxed, ready-to-eat Macaroni and Cheese dinner. Nothing wrong with it, but in these days of experimentation, there's so much more you can do with a classic like Mac N' Cheese. Chef Michael Ferraro had that same thought, and opened and restaurant around it! He stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about some of the many menu items at his restaurant, Delicatessen and Mac Bar in Soho, New York City.
Chef Michael told Tonia about one item in particular, the Reuben Mac N' Cheese, based of a classic Reuben deli sandwich. He takes a blend of various gourmet cheeses, combines that with house-braised corned beef, sauerkraut, chunks of rye bread and croutons seasoned with Thousand Island Dressing. Are you hungry yet?
