The Mac Madness: Best Mac in the Mac contest is returning for a third year to once again determine who makes the best macaroni and cheese in Macomb County. The contest, which is organized by Macomb County Planning and Economic Development (MCPED), will promote local restaurants that specialize in preparing this noodle dish from scratch.
“We’ve seen a phenomenal response to this initiative,” said Vicky Rowinski. “We started Mac Madness in 2021 as a way to help restaurants recover from the pandemic. Now it’s grown into a community celebration. People look forward to it, and our restaurants are ready to go head to head to determine who’s got the best noodle dish. The team here is excited to again shine a spotlight on our Macomb County dining scene, and we’re looking forward to crowning this year’s big cheese!”
Restaurants that offer any type of housemade macaroni and cheese are encouraged to enter the contest here starting February 27 through March 13. Additional rules for entrants include:
- The macaroni and cheese must be housemade
- Only independently owned and operated restaurants are eligible
- The restaurant must be located within Macomb County
- National franchises are excluded
- There is only one entry per restaurant and the public cannot submit on behalf of a restaurant - only self-submissions are allowed
- A $2,000 grant from Macomb County
- The Best Mac in the Mac plaque
In 2022, establishments from across Macomb County went head-to-head in the competition, with K-Block’s Fire Pit BBQ in Washington Township coming out on top. Second place was awarded to Bath City Bistro in Mount Clemens.
