Voulez vous coucher avec Mac?
New review of Patti LaBelle’s much-lauded mac and cheese recipe is now posted at my other blog. It’s good, but not that good, Oprah!! Get a grip on yourself, woman!

Downtown Mac Disaster Tour, part 3 (in which we resort to alcohol)
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
This mac was so yucky, even my camera didn't like it.
Hilary and Suzy, they who heart macaroni and cheese, conclude their disappointing tour of downtown Los Angeles at Cole’s. At least the cocktails are strong.
Downtown Mac Disaster Tour, part 2

The faux-forest splendor of the Clifton's dining room.
Clifton’s Cafeteria, a mainstay of downtown Los Angeles since the 1930s, is rumored to have excellent macaroni and cheese.
In this episode of weheartmacandcheese, Suzy Gruyere and Hilary Havarti bust that myth, big time.
It’s still worth a trip, though, if only for the incongruous woodland decor. And the fancy jello salad.
We heart AdrienneK’s mac and cheese!

Nom nom nom!
Over at my other blog we’ve become a bit demoralized by a series of Bad Macs from restaurants, so I fired up the oven for the first time in months to prepare an actual recipe. It was easy, it was cheesy, and I recommend it to all.
PS Suzy Gruyere and Hilary Havarti are approaching our one-year bloggaversary — and to think, people said we’d run out of stuff to write about such a “limited” topic (heretics!). To celebrate, we’re going to be giving away a supercool prize — hint: just because it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck does not necessarily mean it is a duck! – so if you are a mac and cheese lover, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing.
Meanwhile, at my *other* blog…

Looks good, but how did it taste? Let's just say we need not fear vampires for a while.
Hilary Havarti and Suzy Gruyere spent a recent evening prowling around downtown Los Angeles for some decent macaroni and cheese. We had every reason to believe we’d find some. Alas…

New mac and cheese review at weheartmacandcheese

Honestly, does that look delish or what?! At my other blog, I just posted a review of Kicked Up Mac and Cheese from Truxton’s American Bistro in El Segundo. If you live in the area, you must check this out!
But enough about crochet — let’s eat!
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Besides crocheting my poor right wrist into an inevitable case of carpal tunnel syndrome, what else has been going on at Casa de Suz? I hope you’re hungry, because I’m about to lay some crazy cheesy goodness on you:
Alex Guarnaschelli's cream-based macaroni and cheese. Sigh!
Last year, through the magic of Facebook, I reconnected with my dear friend Hilary. We used to paint this town red on a regular basis, but during the last several years we’d drifted apart for no particular reason. Having been reunited, we found ourselves on our third consecutive dinner date featuring our mutual favorite dish, macaroni and cheese, and that night Hilary threw down the culinary gauntlet by casually remarking, “You know, we ought to blog about all our macaroni and cheese finds.” Any normal human would have laughed it off, but I took her seriously and now, nine months later, we are making a name for ourselves in the cutthroat world of mac and cheese investigative journalism. And that name is: www.weheartmacandcheese.com!
Our favorite restaurant mac, from Comme Ça in West Hollywood CA.
C’mon, everybody likes macaroni and cheese, and some of us LOVE macaroni and cheese, and here in the northern hemisphere it’s definitely high season for warm and creamy comfort food, so I hope you’ll peek in on what’s been cooking. We feature honest and entertaining recipe reviews from the sublime to the ridiculous, as well as reviews of restaurant macs in Los Angeles and from our growing team of intrepid mac investigators nationwide.
An Italian mac, from the Silver Palate Cookbook. My stomach is gurgling, just looking at it.
And yeah, we know, we hear it from everyone: YOUR MAMA makes the best macaroni and cheese, or your gramma or maybe even YOU. You may be right. But we’ll be the judge of that — at least, we’d like to be. We welcome guest chefs to share their favorite m&c recipes. If you’re ready for your fifteen minutes of weheartmac fame, please email me for our guidelines and start grating that cheese!
