Who Will Be MACdaddy?

If you're a mac-n-cheese enthusiast, or perhaps, a mac-n-cheese expert, ready to take on the mac-making skills of local chefs such as Chris Pandel (from the Bristol), Stephanie Izard (Top Chef winner) or Giuseppe Tentori (from Boka), then mark your calendars for Thursday, Feb. 19th. The Organic School Project will christen one professional or amateur chef MACdaddy at their 2009 SMACKDOWN, a macaroni and cheese showdown at Goose Island in Lakeview. Homecooks and chefs will go head to head, in a chance for the MACdaddy title and for the glory of having his or her mac-n-cheese served up at schools offering an OSP lunch. Guests will get the chance to sample all of the gooey creations, and to sip a special MACtini cocktail created for the event by Adam Segar from Nacional 27. For information, visit the SMACKDOWN's web site.
