Sixteen local restaurants are in the running for best housemade macaroni and cheese in Macomb County. And starting today, March 17, the public will get to decide who is the ultimate winner.
The second annual Mac Madness: Best Mac in the Mac, an initiative of the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development (MCPED), launched earlier this month with a request for local restaurants to submit their best noodle dish. Entrants have now been matched in a head-to-head, bracket style vote that launched today, Thursday, March 17, on the Make Macomb Your Home website.
“We’ve got some great made-from-scratch macaroni and cheese dishes in the running this year,” said Vicky Rowinski, director, MCPED. “So now is the time to get out and do a personal taste test. Show some love to our local restaurants and help us find Macomb County’s Big Cheese!”

- Sweet 16 – Voting opens March 17; closes March 19 at 8 p.m.
