When I saw this post (Link: Consumers say (mac &) cheese, please – USATODAY.com), my first thought was, "I wonder how long it will be before there is an all mac & cheese restaurant?" Lo and behold, take a look at one of the sections in the article:
•Manhattan mac. Two New York City restaurants sell mac & cheese as their only entrees.
S’mac has 13 mac & cheese entrees from $4.25 to $20. The most popular is a four-cheese mac; a Mexican version is planned for 2008, says founder Sarita Ekya. Her 30-seat restaurant does about 35% of its business as takeout, she says.
Supermac has versions including whole wheat and low fat. It also sells $6.95 Mac Burgers that twin it with Angus beef.
I guess it’s just one more example of the single dish restaurant, like the cereal shop that was open briefly down by VCU.
Whatever happened to that cereal place, how long was it open? I haven’t been paying attention….
It closed after just a few months of opening, sometime around November or December 2006.
