My name is Jackie and I have loved Mac n Cheese since I was a toddler. I grew up eating Kraft Mac n Cheese. As soon as I could order for myself in restaurants I always picked Mac n Cheese if it was an option. I soon earned the nickname Mackie Jackie. This blog will be devoted to my Mac n Cheese adventures. I will share some of my past favorites and then continue to post each new cheesy adventure. Happy reading and eating!

Silk City Diner

Restaurant: Silk City Diner
Address: 435 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia, PA 19123
Website: http://www.silkcityphilly.com/
Name on Menu: Appetizers-Baked Macaroni & Cheese with a Goldfish crust
Price: N/A-This version is no longer on their menu

Unfortunately, Silk City no longer sells this version. I wish they would revert back to this version because it was heaven on a plate!!! This was the only time in my life that I was sad I did not have a second stomach because I really wanted to order a second order.

I went to Silk City a couple of years ago after I watched it on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The mac was listed as an appetizer and I was scared it would not be enough food for me. The waitress assured me that one order would fill me. Sure enough, when the mac came it was enough for about two people. It came in a large oval casserole dish. The entire top was covered in Goldfish crackers. Underneath was creamy cheesy pasta. The dish was shallow, which allowed every forkful to have the crunchy goldfish mixed with the creamy pasta. I loved the salty flavorful crunch that the Goldfish gave the dish. I ate every bite even though I was beyond stuffed. I never wanted it to end and unfortunately the next time I went back they put a different version on the menu.

This was my perfect Mac n Cheese, so I give it 5 wedges. Silk City please bring it back!!!
