It was great seeing all the different Mac & Cheese variations out there and the feedback from guests was invaluable. Lynn & James were a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to working w/ them again next year." - Kevin Conover, San Diego Tap Room This year the 4th Annual Mac n' Cheese Fest will be held on October 27, 2018. |
