President’s Day
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think "I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese."
Cause you're tasting that sweet, sweet nostalgia.
I'd bet if you gave someone that's never had Mac and cheese before Kraft Mac vs a good gourmet Mac, the gourmet will win by an absolute landslide.
Cheap Mac and cheese isn't good because it's good... It's good because of the old memories attached to it.
Counterpoint:
Trash macs and cheese are really good, and there are some amazing high-effort recipes.
It's all the stuff in the middle that forms an uncanny valley that isn't any good.
