"The gloriously gloppy dish is the star of the show at this Clinton Hill spot. The extra-cheesy pans of mac and cheese are served straight from the oven in the tins they’re baked in and come in both traditional and tricked-out versions, packed with things like lobster or pesto chicken. Mac Shack takes its commitment to the comfort food a step further with unusual formats stuffed with the wriggly, long noodles, like its macwich, pictured here. There’s an outpost in Jamaica, too." - Alexandra Ilyashov
