* Another great idea! I wish we had more restaurants like this.

Robert Dunn had resolved to get out of the restaurant business when, on a trip to New York City, he happened upon a macaroni and cheese joint. That’s when a light bulb turned on.
“I thought, ‘I could do this so much better,’” Dunn says, and he set out to do just that. On June 8, 2009, he closed the doors of his full-service Italian restaurant in Georgetown, Connecticut. About a month and $10,000 later, the brown leather chairs and Frank Sinatra music were replaced by an obscene amount of orange. Macdaddy’s macaroni & cheese bar was open for business.
“Our motto is comfort food for discomforting times,” Dunn says. But make no mistake, this is not the homey stuff your mom used to make—unless she was a chef. Options like the mac mushroom, with crimini and shitake mushrooms, porcini emulsion, manchego cheese, and truffle oil, or the mac french onion, with Gruyere, caramelized onions, and applewood bacon, are comfort food dressed to the nines.
