Episode 93: Mac Cheese Frodown Part 1: Boston Market

10 May, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

We are kicking off Mac Cheese Week at Freezerburns with the first of 5 episodes in an epic Mac Cheese Frodown. Today’s Mac Cheese contender is Boston Market’s Macaroni and Cheese. How will it compare against the others this week? And will the fact that it says “Macaroni” but is really “rotini” prevent it from getting a quality score from the Frozen Food Master?

I think Tod is a nut-job!

Wow, that's my boyfriend's favorite mac and cheese. I've tried it when he eats it and it's pretty darn good.

Of course, he says it's the best one of all but I'll ask him again after the fro-down is done!

Tod

Chopped kicks ass! i love that show. It is the only show I watch on foodnetwork. *wink*

@Meg - "Chopped" is a show on the Food Network with Ted Allen as the host and they have 4 chefs all make dishes (apps, entree & dessert, 3 rounds) each round one of the chefs gets voted off by a panel of three judges. They give them a basket of "mystery" ingredients which are usually strange items...like M&C Blue Box, doughnuts, pineapple...etc, etc. It's like Iron Chef meets Project Runway meets American Idol meets any other show like that....it's pretty good...sometimes better than others.

I've been known to pummel mac and cheese at Boston Mkt...haven't tried the store version. I crumble up Boston Mkt cornbread into my mac and cheese and it's amazing.

Meg

Bear, "chopped" episode? Enlighten me, not sure what website you are talking about...not this site, right?

Bear Silber

@Meg - Did you see the "Chopped" episode where they had to use the Kraft Blue Box? That was kinda fun :)

To everyone speaking of other M&C varieties, the FFM states:

"having already shot the entire Mac Cheese Frodown for this week, I can tell you there are just too many brands out there to not do a Frodown 2."

I agree with Chris, I would've replaced the lean cuisine meal with banquet, since stouffers and lean cuisine are basically the same brand of food.
