![]() ![]() I think that had the chicken been marinated in something like a white wine or a lemon based marinade and a sharper cheddar had been involved, I would’ve liked this a lot more. I just wish this thing had a little bit more of a kick to it, something to make the flavors stand out even more because it comes off as being somewhat bland. Campanelle pasta is a very good choice for mac and cheese use, as it manages to collect a lot of the cheese sauce in its hollow, conch-like shape. The highlights of this mac and cheese are easily the flavor stemming from the truffle oil and the crunchy bits at the top which were rich with parmesan cheese. There wasn’t enough bacon and the mushrooms were good but occasionally bitter. The chicken was pretty much flavorless and there was a lot of it to be found mixed in there. To make a long story short, I thought it was good but far from great. What I got instead wasn’t hideous or anything but it lacked flair or any real character. I was expecting something more like a thick, cheese crusted behemoth served in a cast iron bowl or skillet. ![]() ![]() I wasn’t necessarily disappointed but it simply wasn’t what I was expecting. Now, I’m not sure what I felt when I saw this. I say least bit because I had my eye on several other items on the menu but those will have to wait until next time.Īfter a few minutes of waiting with bated breath, my plate arrived. Sounds pretty delicious, no? So with only the least bit of hesitation, I ordered it. Get this:Ĭhicken breast, applewood bacon, wild mushrooms, cheddar, parmesan, campanelle pasta and truffle oil. It’s not even that I was in the mood for mac and cheese, it was simply the list of what was in it that got me really curious. This past weekend I went to see Skyfall at the theater (which was pretty awesome, by the way… the movie, not the theater) and right after that, had a late lunch/ early dinner at Yard House up in Yonkers.Īs soon as I saw that mac and cheese was on the menu (which is in itself pretty expansive it’s one of those menus where unless you already know what you want, the waiter will probably have to return several times while the people at your table try their damndest to narrow down their selection), I knew my choice was made. ![]()
