Mac and Cheese: How To NAIL It. The Cheesiest Episode Yet
Mac and cheese: comfort food, kid favorite, and apparently the cause of Marcus’ cooking anxiety. In this episode of Chef’s Day Off, Marcus and Chef Matthew dive into what makes the perfect mac and cheese. From smooth, creamy cheese sauces (and why they go grainy) to beer vs. wine in the base, boxed grated cheddar vs. “real cheese,” and whether nut milk belongs anywhere near the pot, no angle is off-limits. Chef drops pro tips like protecting breadcrumbs with a little cheese, why the broiler might ruin your dish, and why burnt edges are secretly delicious. Grab a fork, because this one’s cheesy in the best way. Executive Producer Terry Fung, Rickhouse Media
