WHAT TO EXPECT: Mac & Cheese binge

This Saturday, January 26th marks the 3^rd annual Mac & Cheese Binge at Midtown Crossing from 11am-3pm. Many of you know by now that this is the biggest crawl of the year and it’s only getting bigger!

Here’s what you have to look forward to:

• TEN mac & cheese varieties at nine participating restaurants (yes, the biggest binge yet!). We’re talking classics to vegan to pork – and everything in between.
• Want to see the menu? (Of course you do!) Click here!
• All the action is inside the restaurants… That much easier for grabbing a drink to go with your mac. Many restaurants have a featured beer or cocktail to accompany the mac too. The drinks are half the experience! Drink prices (and offerings) vary from one restaurant to the next.
• Start and end your Mac & Cheese Binge journey anywhere you’d like! The mac is “while supplies last”, so if you see a favorite, start there! Pick up a printed menu (with a voting slip) inside any participating restaurant.
• Samplers are $3 each, payable to each restaurant directly. Cash is fastest and easiest.
• Did we mention that there are bragging rights on the line? That and a little trophy like the one you got from t-ball back in the day. So make sure to vote for the best mac & cheese in Midtown Crossing. Printed menus (with a voting slip) can be picked up from any restaurant. Slip your vote in any Mac & Cheese Binge labeled box! Winning restaurant will be announced on Monday!

In between those ten mac & cheese dishes you’re going to need a break (trust us on that one!). Here are our top recommendations:

• Stop by some of the Midtown Crossing shops getting in on the action with special fun for “Mac & Cheese Bingers”, including:
  • $1 Kid Sugar Cones at Cold Stone Creamery
  • 15% off Garbo’s Brand Products & Enter to win a $50 gift card at Garbo’s Salon and Spa
  • Giveaways & Discounts at Waxing the City
• Browse the best of Farnam Street:
  • Hutch
  • The Afternoon
  • Long Dog Fat Cat
  • Anderson O’Brien (Newly Opened)

One of the most popular questions we get is if the event is family-friendly. While we don’t have any activities specifically for kids, children are welcome! And as much as we love your pups (SO much), they aren’t permitted inside restaurants (per Health Code).

Plus, don’t forget to stay awhile and enjoy the day. As soon as dusk hits, the white lights in Turner Park transform your cheesy day into a dazzling night. There’s so much to do in Midtown Crossing so make sure to enjoy it all while you’re down here.

The restaurants are working hard to serve tasty mac to everyone as quickly as possible. Come ready to spend your day criss-crossing Midtown Crossing in search of the best mac!

Now – join the Facebook event already, say cheese, and we’ll see you Saturday!
