Mac and cheese is arguably the most popular comfort food in America - so much so that an entire festival dedicated to it has been established right here in Arizona! The Mac & Cheese Festival AZ is returning this November and tickets are already on sale. You definitely don't want to miss out on the cheesiest event of the season.
On November 16 and 17, Scottsdale will be taken over by everyone's favorite comfort food.
Talented chefs from local restaurants will converge in one place and cook mac and cheese in every delicious way, shape, and form imaginable.
Whether you prefer a crispy crust on top or the same texture throughout, rest-assured everyone leaves with a full belly and happy heart.
Also, let's just take a second to appreciate that epic cheese pull... our mouths are watering already!
Regular mac is delicious enough already, but have you ever tried it on a burger? Innovative creations such as this are what sets the festival apart from any other like it.
This one might be a tad more controversial, but hear us out - you get three different taste sensations in one with a mac and cheese pie: gooey filling, crispy edges, and a thick, creamy top.
Just one bite will leave you addicted!
Around 30 different restaurants will be in attendance. Spend the entire day trying delicious, innovative samples until you physically can't eat another bite.
Plenty of drink options - including adult beverages - help wash down all that salt.
Lemonade is always a solid choice, and there's even a craft beer tent this year!
Snag a VIP ticket for access to a private entrance and exclusive tent.
You'll also receive four drink tickets, five mac and cheese tasting tokens, and a free water or soda. General admission ticket holders must purchase each individual sample and beverage.
Is your mac a household favorite? Both adults and kids alike have the opportunity to participate in a live cook-off.
One lucky winner from each age group will take home the Golden Noodle trophy and remain king or queen of mac and cheese until next year.
The festival will take place at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on November 16-17, 2019.
Address: 7555 North Pima Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85258.
