Live from New York, it’s Cheeseburger Saturday Night! Starring S’MAC and featuring the ready for prime beef player, Marty Wombacher. And now, live from the East Village of New York City, please welcome, S’MAC!
I read a post over at EV Grieve about S'MAC taking over a kiosk in the East Village and I realized I hadn't been there for a while. S'MAC is a restaurant that specializes in mac and cheese and they have a cheeseburger mac and cheese. I decided that would be a fun twist on Cheeseburger Saturday Night, so it's off to S'MAC we go. But first a beer, I'm slowly restocking the fridge and it's a little better than the other night when Clacky and Uncle Waltie were disappointed in the number of beers in my fridge.
And it's off we go, wow, it's really nice outside. I love this time of year.
Lots of people in Union Square Park.
Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox.)
Here we are!
Let's go in, i'm starvin' like Marvin over here!
There's a line, but it's moving quickly.
And before you know it, I've placed my order with the lovely Carla who serves me up a bottle of beer. The last time I was here they didn't serve beer, but now they not only have beer, but there's wine as well!
I wanted to sit in a window seat, but they were all taken, so I chose this table.
Here's the view from my perch at the table.
In keeping with the mac and cheese theme of the place, orange is the predominant color in here. Orange chairs...
Orange lights...
And an abandoned orange drink on the counter. Orange you glad we came here? Sorry about that!
And before you know it, here's Carla with the mac and cheese!
The mac and cheese is served bubbling hot, in its own metal skillet. Nice presentation and it looks and smells great!
Very cheeseburgery and delicious!
Burp.
Obligatory bathroom mirror shot! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
My Meal
I had the Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese which combines seasoned ground beef with cheddar and Amercan cheeses. It was creamy, a little spicy and very delicious. Other styles of mac and cheese include: 4-Cheese, The All American, Cajun and Buffalo Chicken. You can also build your own mac and cheese with 14 kinds of cheese to choose from and you can mix in veggies, beef and poultry including: broccoli, slab bacon, hot dogs and roasted tomatoes. The mac and cheese come in four sizes depending on your appetite. They also offer side salads and cookies and brownies for dessert. And they have beer now!
