Thank Jesus for Mac and Cheeza

How can you improve on a classic Americana dish like Mac and Cheese? Well, the people down at Mac & Cheeza have figure it out. This small restaurant is known for one dish and one dish only, you guessed it, Tuna Fish Salad.

Jalapeno and Hot link Mac and Cheese

The menu is divided into pricing, size, add-ons (including veggies and meat) and toppers for any size mac and cheese dish. They even offer rice noodles or soy base cheese. I was brave and tried my dish with jalapenos and hot links. It is definitely worth the extra crunches and run on the treadmill.
