Ok gals, I've got a challenge for you. I've been assigned the job of revamping the menu for a friend's restaurant. The macaroni and cheese she serves is out of this world... and deserves a name that really makes it stick out from your regular old boxed fare paradigm. Any suggestions? Just immagine the best mac-n-cheese you've ever had (this one has buttered/herbed bread crumbs on top) and name it. It's an upscale foofy place, so the name has to have an element of sophistication too. Anyone, anyone?
Thanks... |

I don't like it with shells, either! I thought I was the only one. I think it just doesn't feel right when you are eating it.
My husband is a real pain in the neck about food, but for some reason, he only likes Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. When I make the homemade kind, he turns his nose up at it!! Can you believe it? Yet,he does not eat fast food or boxed foods.
Homestyle baked macaroni and cheese is a simple name they could use. |

AH HA! YOU are one of those people my husband has served, Willowtreecreek!!!  Is it texture? Taste? Does the cheese get caught up in the shell part?
I guess I have no preference as to shape or whatever--if it's food, I'll probably eat it

I like Mustang Suzie's suggestion!!!
I asked my husband, who has worked in dining establishments his whole life (many of which serve bistro type mac and cheese) and he said that it should have "baked" "browned" or "bubbly" in the title--should sound comforting. "Hearty" seems to work better in the autumn and winter, when people are more inclined to eat heavier food. He also added (I find this odd) people are real sticklers about their pasta--i.e, if you're going to call it macaroni and cheese, macaroni should be the pasta. He's had people actually complain about the use of "shells" instead!!!
I would figure out what types of cheese(s) she's using--if it's a cheddar, describe regions where Cheddar comes from--New England Mac & cheese casserole, or Wisconsin Dairyland mac and cheese, Cornish Cheddar Mac Bake. People like to be transported when they eat.

Will she send us some if our name gets picked?
Tagliatella e Formaggio -Italian
Nouille avec Sauce Fromage -French
(Noodle with cheese sauce)
I couldn't find the plural of 'noodle'...

What is the name of her restaurant and what sort of cuisine does she serve?

there is a resturaunt in New York called S'Mac's that serves 10 different varieties of Mac and Cheese, I bet if you visited their website you could get an idea of how they name their dishes.

Also perhaps you can preface it with for instance "Chef (insert chef's name here)Mac N'Cheese
