gooey gooey mac 'n' cheese


As of late, the mac 'n' cheese dish has been elevated from a Kraft staple for kids to entrees at the most upscale restaurants. Many menus feature the dish, and are getting more and more creative with that base of noodles and cheese.


The Gateway Players’ Relay For Life team Drama Dearies announced its winners of the Mac & Cheese Fest ‘09 tasting recently held at V.F.W. Post 6055 in Southbridge.


Judges Dottie Gajewski, Lou-Ellen Corkum, Ariana Kennedy, Michael Day and Rep. Geraldo Alicea tasted all 12 dishes and made their decisions.


Brad Demers won the Kid’s Favorite with his “Classic Mac & Cheese.” Bill Guy took honors for Pot Luck Favorite with a cold “Summertime Macaroni & Cheese.” And Lou DeMauro’s "Ed Stearns Beef Terraki with 5 Cheeses and Ritz Cracker Topping" won the People’s Choice. Lou’s “Maryland Crab with Guyere Cheese and Ritz Cracker Topping” took awards for Gram’s Favorite, Chef’s Favorite and overall Master of the Mac & Cheese. Honorable Mention awards went to Pat Jeffries’ “Super Rich Macaroni & Cheese,” Lucille Gregory’s “Greek Mac & Cheese,” Lou DeMauro’s “Panchetta Pasta & Cheese,” Philomena Rodriguez’ “Anonymous Mac & Cheese,” Ali Cleaveland’s “Four Cheese & Bacon Mac & Cheese,” Billy Bolster’s “Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese (Gluten Free),” John Polakowski’s “Gluten Free Macaroni & Cheese” and Patricia Haddock’s “Tangy Macaroni & Cheese.”


Drama Dearies recognizes V.F.W. Post 6055, Big Bunny Market, Tradewinds Clubhouse, and Red & Nina for their contributions to making this Relay For Life event a success. Special thanks to all who entered, helped out, and attended.
