🚨MAC & CHEESE UPDATE🚨 We are proud to announce that we’re retiring our trusty Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese for something new & unique! Meet our 4-Cheese Mac. Cheddar, monterey jack, parmesan & gruyere perfectly blended together, topped with fresh chives and a homemade Brown Butter to give you what we think is the perfect bite of Mac & Cheese.
