I couldn't resist ordering the "All American." With a description boasting, Nostalgia at its finest a tasty blend of American & Cheddar cheeses, just the way you remember it as a kid!, who could resist?! I opted for the gluten-free Mongo size with broccoli and roasted tomato add-in s... because that s how I roll.

Head's up for commuters: I did not know at the time that Mongo meant like, forty-four thousand servings, and they would not have a bag to contain this size box. I took the subway home carefully balancing a massive, piping-hot pizza-style box on my lap.

Anyway, once I made it home safely, s'mac in tact, I got maybe half-way through the dish before I tapped out. The Mongo literally lasted me three days not to mention three long workouts.

I don t know what the wizards over at the S Mac kitchen are doing, but they deserve a culinary Oscar for this one. The pasta itself is decidedly undainty every macaroni is thick and hearty; substantial messengers for the melt-y, burnt-in-the-right places cheese sauce. And that sauce! That sauce is the love child of american and cheddar. The kind of love they write poems about.

While I will probably opt for a smaller size next time, mostly so I can get home without clinging to a cardboard box for life, I will definitely be making this a regular in my GF rotation. My only problem is deciding which Mac to try next...

Bonus GF points: The restaurant is only a block from Tu Lu s Gluten Free Bakery, so you better be planning on dessert!
