Macdaddy's Macaroni & Cheese Bar, Monroe

MacDaddy’s Macaroni & Cheese Bar elevates elbow noodles to haute cuisine with its 25 varieties of gourmet mac and cheese, which have garnered positive attention from the foodies at The Washington Post. Available in three sizes—the snack, the mac, and the macdaddy—elbow noodles emulate monte cristos with ham and gouda, mimic gumbo with andouille sausage, and impersonate Popeye with spinach, goat cheese, and a keen knowledge of nautical terms. MacDaddy’s also serves dessert in the form of cookies, brownies, and “mac zeppole”—deep-fried noodles tossed with powdered sugar.
