Eating Mac and Cheese at Macbar in New York City. (CBS)

Sunday Morning on CBS ran a story about Macbar.  It’s a restaurant in New York City that sales nothing but, you guessed it, Mac and Cheese!  Who doesn’t love macaroni and cheese?  As the story stated, mac and cheese is one of the great comfort foods of all time. 

 Below is an excerpt from the CBS Sunday Morning story on “All Hail Mac and Cheese!”

It’s a family favorite . . . creamy, quick, delicious, and oh so cheesy!

Whose mouth doesn’t water over macaroni and cheese?

It’s the very symbol of comfort food.

“I would have to say that it is one of the great comforting foods of all time,” said cheese expert Clark Wolf, who is an authority on this all-American classic.

“It’s one of those experiences, at the table, that actually is as good as an adult, as it was as a kid,” he told Altschul. “I mean, you remember being happy. You remember being with Mom and Dad. You remember it being crusty at the top and bubbling and waiting for it to come out of the oven, and you remember all those things.”

Although it’s as American as, well, apple pie, the inspiration likely came from the British in the 1700s, who mixed cheese with cauliflower.

Mac and Cheese’s big moment, though, came in 1802 when President Thomas Jefferson served it at a state dinner at the White House.
