Antonelli’s Cheese Shop announces its first-ever Mac ‘n’ Cheese Off, a fun culinary competition featuring delicious and innovative macaroni and cheese dishes created by six of Austin’s favorite restaurants, March 29 – April 3.
Chefs from Jacoby’s, Vox Table, Hillside Farmacy, ABGB, Swift’s Attic, and Texas French Bread will face off to create a signature mac ‘n’ cheese, using artisanal cheeses provided by Antonelli’s Cheese Shop. Each restaurant will feature their dish on their menu between Tuesday, March 29 and Sunday, April 3, with the winner decided by patrons via social media.
Patrons can cast their vote by dining at any of the featured restaurants and commenting on their favorite dish and tagging a friend on Antonelli’s Instgram post, or by sharing a photo on Instagram of their mac ‘n’ cheese dish, tagging the restaurant and @antonellischz. Voters will be entered to win a private Antonelli’s Cheese Tasting for four guests. The restaurant and mac ‘n’ cheese with the most votes will be awarded a cheese-y trophy and crowned the Antonelli’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese Champion of 2016. All votes must be in by April 4.
“We are so honored to work with our restaurant partners and talented chefs,” says Kendall Antonelli, owner of Antonelli’s Cheese Shop. “Everyone loves mac ‘n’ cheese and what better way to pay homage to such a delicious dish and to these incredible six restaurants than with some unique artisanal cheeses.”
