History of Macaroni and Cheese
Send us a text
In this deliciously nostalgic episode of Info On The Go, we’re taking a deep dive into the gooey, golden world of mac and cheese—the ultimate comfort food. Where did it come from? How did it become a pantry staple in homes across the globe? And what’s the story behind that iconic blue box?
We’ll trace the tangled roots of pasta from ancient China and medieval Italy, explore the evolution of cheese from 8000 BC, and follow the culinary love story that brought macaroni and cheese together in 13th-century Europe. Learn how a French-trained chef enslaved by Thomas Jefferson helped bring mac and cheese to America, and how processed cheese and industrial pasta shaped the dish into a wartime hero.
But we don’t stop there. We’ll sprinkle in fascinating global twists—from Canada’s national obsession with “K.D.” to spicy Caribbean macaroni pie, German Käsespätzle, and Indian-inspired desi mac & cheese. Oh, and yes—we even uncover the mystery of powdered cheese and celebrate the quirky legacy of Cheesasaurus Rex.
Grab a fork, pour a glass of Chardonnay (yes, really), and join us for a cheesy, crispy-topped journey through history, culture, and flavor.
Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
