The Mac Off

Showcasing 20 restaurants (Mac Shack, Wangs) and home cooks, this cheesy throwdown features comfort-food riffs including pumpkin-beer–braised short-rib macaroni, cheese noodles studded with cornbread and fried chicken, and a cream-cheese-and-lox mac. Vote for your three favorites, which will vie for bragging rights and prizes like yacht cruises and Corkbuzz wine-tasting classes. Proceeds benefit the Claque, a nonprofit arts and theater production group in Brooklyn.
