Macaroni & Cheese…All Grown Up

In my book, you can never go wrong with a delicious bowl of mac & cheese–be it the Kraft version which you put in the microwave for instant gratification, or a homemade creation from a recipe passed down from older generations in your family, the cheesy pasta is the ultimate comfort food, especially on a cool Fall day.

Since I don’t tend to cook when I’m in my dorm room, I find myself looking for the staples I’d usually eat at home at restaurants. Enter the macaroni & cheese at Firefly, a rustic restaurant near Dupont Circle with gourmet cuisine by Executive Chef Tood Wiss, featuring a seasonally driven menu with fresh local ingredients.

It’s one of those irresistible items on the menu, perfect for sharing with your dinner-mate (or just for yourself….if you can handle it).
