The Best Mac and Cheese in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"From a Texas-style barbecue operation that began in Compton and now has locations including Santa Monica and Mid-City, this macaroni and cheese appears plain at first but reveals complexity on the first bite. It's an amalgam of three cheeses—sharp cheddar, medium-sharp cheddar, and Monterey Jack—producing a supremely balanced blend that delivers salty, nutty notes before Monterey Jack's mellowness settles in. Black pepper adds a gentle kick that balances the richness; as one reviewer put it, "There’s one easy way to know how good this mac and cheese is: You can’t stop eating it." — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Southern California/Southwest" - Mona Holmes
