I Heart Mac and Cheese

BOCA RATON, FL

Customizable comfort food is about to go national. The Florida-based I Heart Mac & Cheese brand just launched a national franchise program. This fast casual concept specializing in customizable, made-to-order macaroni and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches is wildly popular. The menu combines the creativity of award-winning recipes resulting in a grown-up approach to this classic childhood dish. The menu includes mac and cheese like you’ve never tasted before, from  “The Best of Both Worlds,” a baked mac & cheese sandwich with slow cooked short rib, white cheddar cheese, and american cheese finished with BBQ Sauce to “The Cuban,” mojo marinated pulled pork, ham, gruyere cheese, and dill pickles. There’s also fun sides like “Baked Mac Bites with Tomato Soup Dipper” or  “Loaded Baked Tater Tots with Cheese, Bacon, Scallions, and Ranch Sauce.” For dessert, you can order “Frozen Cheesecake Pop Dipped in Your Choice of Strawberry, Chocolate, or Caramel Sauce.”
