But Rowin, who grew up in West Garden Grove eating the Blue Box stuff before crossing the country to attend culinary school in New England, didn’t have a fallback recipe.īut he did have some ideas, and proceeded to whip up a batch in the kitchen, using his favorite Fontina (“I’ve always been a fan of … the deep, nutty, robust flavor”) and other cheeses that he had on hand: cheddar, Jack and Parmesan-lookalike Grana Padano. Walter Rowin, executive chef at Slidebar Rock-n-Roll Café in Fullerton, said when the restaurant-bar was opening three years ago, everyone involved wanted mac and cheese on the menu. Gourmet mac ‘n’ cheese has sprung up on restaurant menus across the county in recent years, demonstrating the popularity of nostalgia foods with a contemporary twist. And luckily, we’ve got plenty of cheesy, decadent dishes to choose from here in Orange County – grownup versions of the childhood favorite. So even if you’re cutting back on spending, it’s a good investment (for the soul) to indulge in some really good macaroni and cheese.
Comfort foods have become a downright necessity in these stressful times of financial turmoil.
