Comfort food is always a good idea, and the pinnacle of comfort food is 100% macaroni and cheese. From the moment you tasted it as a child, you were hooked, and whether you still make yours from a box or you’ve created your own unique recipe, nothing hits the spot quite like a hearty bowl of macaroni and cheese. Of course, if you really want to splurge, head over to one certain restaurant near New Orleans that’s known for having some truly epic portions of macaroni and cheese. We always tell you to come hungry when we feature restaurants, but this time we mean it because you’ve got a mountain of macaroni and cheese coming your way.
Rocky & Carlo’s has been a neighborhood favorite ever since it first opened its doors back in 1965.
