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!

TGI Fridays

Restaurant: TGI Fridays
Address: Various locations
Website: http://www.tgifridays.com/home/welcome.aspx
Name on the menu: Appetizers-Fried Mac n Cheese
Price: N/A-Discontinued

I am so sad that Friday's took this item off the menu. I was addicted to these little munchies. Every time my family went out, I dragged them to Friday's just so I could order this appetizer. I can still remember the first time I ordered this appetizer. I was away in Florida and the family went to Friday's. As soon as I saw the words Mac n Cheese, I knew what I was ordering. The waitress brought them out on a long rectangular plate. There were 6 fried Mac n Cheese balls. Beneath them was a zig zagged line of cheese sauce. Sprinkled around the plate were some herbs. It was a sight that would bring a tear to the eye of any Mac n Cheese loving girl. However, my family was under the impression I had ordered the appetizer for the table, so I had to share. This left me with only two mac balls. The mac balls were hot and crispy. The inside was filled with cheese and pasta. The pasta was soft, but not mushy. I savored every bite. I have ordered this dish so many times that I am surprised I did not turn into a fried ball of mac.

I have to give this dish 5 wedges. They were always good, no matter what location I visited. Friday's please bring them back!
