This icky weather has us feeling like staying in, curling up with a movie, and ordering some comfort food. Today, we’re revisiting one of our favorite power rankings about one of our favorite Pittsburgh foods – the classic mac and cheese.

**Editor’s note: This episode originally published July 6, 2023. 

Here are all the macs referenced in today’s convo:

  • The Rear End GastroPub and Garage in Etna has a classic mac meal.
  • Kelly’s Bar and Lounge’s mac and cheese is an East Liberty staple.
  • Bigham Tavern in Mt. Washington has highly customizable mac and cheese.
  • South Side’s Spork Pit BBQ, formerly known as Double Wide Grill, still has great brisket mac.
  • Smoke in Lawrenceville was an overall winner for both their classic and specialty dishes.
  • Urban Tap’s smoked gouda mac is fantastic.
  • The food truck Blowfish BBQ has a mac and cheese entree.
  • Crafty Jackalope has a build-your-own option.
  • Fortuitea Cafe & Bakery has a ton of vegan mac and cheese options.
