Mac and cheese

Background: I seem to gravitate towards ordering mac and cheese whenever it's on a menu.  Yes, I can make it by myself when I'm a single woman, it just turns into lots and lots and lots of mac and cheese...and cheese is pricey... And honestly, I'd just rather not know how much cream or butter is in it.

But not all mac and cheese is created equal...  Last night, I added to the experiment since I was desperately craving company and comfort food.  Liz and I used it as a time to *finally* make it to Regal Beagle for dinner--we've tried scheduling for perhaps since the beginning of the year, if not earlier...but two busy people = difficult plan-aking....I've been curious about their dinners forever.  The app of blue cheese potatoes was stellar, as was the nightly special of tuna with blood orange and beet sauce...  The truffle mac and cheese with crumb topping was decent and I'd order it again...perhaps at the same level at Publik House--but it needed a tad more salt to bring out the flavors.  So thus far the rankings are:

1. Lord Hobo.  http://lordhobo.com/
2. Harvard Gardens http://www.harvardgardens.com/
3&4. Publick House and Regal Beagle http://eatgoodfooddrinkbetterbeer.com/publickhouse/

That said, hands down, the German Chocolate Cake at Regal Beagle is by far the yummiest cupcake-ish dessert I have had in ages and ages.

So delicious we needed to order it a second time in one night. That is a sign of a good dessert.
