The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, May 2022 - Eater NY

"Tearing apart a mac and cheese empanada ($4.25) from Empanada Mama was not only the best thing I ate last week, but also, if we’re being honest, the best thing I did last week. The crackly, blistered fried dough ripped apart easily, exposing cheesy noodles that were somehow as creamy and warm as if I had just made a pot of the pasta on the stove and spooned that into the pastry shell. I ordered it via delivery and it was so good that I had to order it again the next night, just to make sure the flawless execution wasn’t a fluke. (It wasn’t.) — Erika Adams, deputy editor" - Eater Staff
