Who doesn’t love a hot, steamy, delicious… bowl of macaroni and cheese? Another one of the new eats being served up at the Calgary Stampede this year is Reel Mac And Cheese’s Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese. Let me tell you, this isn’t your standard KD by any stretch of the imagination.
Now, before you even order it, you must know that the Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese is a special menu item and is NOT found on their regular menu. You’ll still get it when you ask, but that’s just something worth mentioning. When you place your order, you’ll definitely notice that at $25, it will be the absolute most expensive macaroni you’ll ever order. However, there are multiple reasons for that. Most of Reel Mac and Cheese’s other dishes come in at $8-9, but this particular dish is something quite special.
To begin with, Million Dollar Mac and Cheese is pretty much twice the size of any of Reel Mac and Cheese’s other offerings. On top of that, it’s made with truffle oil, real crab meat and sun-dried tomatoes, all of which come regularly at a fairly hefty price, thus somewhat justifying the higher cost. It’s still a bit overpriced though.
The mac and cheese itself was very tasty, blending together ingredients that are rather unconventional in the world of macaroni. It was, by far, the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had. I’m not just saying this because I just want to be positive, but I’m being completely honest. It was mouthwatertingly d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.
I can’t complain about the service as a whole, because they were friendly and accommodating, but they did neglect to tell me that it takes about five times longer to make Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese as opposed to their other dishes. Not that I had a problem with waiting (it was very worth it), but I just wish that I had been informed about the extended wait time.
