I received a complimentary tasting via Noodles & Company for the sole purpose of this post
3 old Mac N Cheese Favorites have joined Noodle & Company's classic Wisconsin Mac N Cheese on their menu! BBQ Pork Mac, Buffalo Chicken Mac and Truffle Mac. And I had the opportunity to sample these, and the rest of the menu, earlier this week at the Macomb, MI location with some fellow bloggers.
We started off withe some starters off their menu. The Cheesy Garlic Bread, Korean BBQ Meatballs with a Gochujang Sauce and the Potstickers. I'm a huge fan of potstickers and these did not disappoint, with their delicious soy dipping sauce.
Then we got to try 2 of their salads off the menu. The Chicken Veracruz Salad and The Med Salad with Chicken. I honestly couldn't tell you favorite, because they're both so different in their flavors. I liked the Spicy Yogurt dressing on The Med Salad and the bacon and jalapeno ranch dressing on the Veracruz.
Then we got to try our first pasta dishes! Clockwise we have the Pesto Cavatappi with Pork, Penne Rosa with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, Truffle Mac and Pasta Fresca with Tofu. Out of these I loved the Pork in the Pesto and the whole dish was great overall and the Chicken was great in the Penne Rosa as well, but this dish was a bit spicy for me.
The Truffle Mac was one of my least favorites of the night. I'm not sure if it was because I'd already sampled so much and the flavors weren't mixing well for me, or if it's just personal preference! But everyone else at the table LOVED it!!
Course 2 consisted of the Pad Thai (my OLD favorite and the dish I always get when I go to Noodles & Company!), Buffalo Chicken Mac (one of my newest favorites and one I'll be ordering almost every time I go) and the Japanese Pan Noodles which uses an Udon Noodle (ooh-don), which is a thick noodle.
Pad Thai was still amazing, Buffalo Chicken Mac is a new fav and the Pan noodles were also were tasty!
Course 3 was the BBQ Pork Mac (another new fave that will be swapped out with Buffalo Chicken Mac) and the Alfredo MontAmore with that Parmesan Crusted Chicken again.
The BBQ Pork Mac was so rich and so tasty and I'm NOT a BBQ sauce fan!! I loved this though, it was the perfect mixes of flavors and is a great comfort food!
Lastly we had desserts. Their HUGE Rice Krispie Treat, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Snickerdoodle Cookies! The Rice Krispie Treat was my favorite. It wasn't super gooey and wasn't overly sweet! Very well done! But they were GIGANTIC, that's 2 on a plate!!!!
Overall a fun time was had and we were SO full, but we also got LEFTOVERS to take home!!!
The "new" Mac N Cheeses are available on the menu NOW!!!

ReplyDeleteBBQ Pork Mac YUMMMMMY!
ReplyDeleteI have been to one - there's a Noodles & Co. very close to my house. I'm not crazy about meat in my mac and cheese, so the truffle mac would likely be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Noodle's right by my work we go to. I'd try the BBQ pork. My fave dish in the stroganoff
