The best place I have found is the originator of the all mac and cheese restaurant called S'MAC. Sadly it is in New York, but the prices are cheaper than Swallow Bistro despite being in Greenwich Village and they have much bigger portions - take a look at this , this, and this. (Thank you obsessive people at flickr who take pictures of their food!) I almost always bring some back to bake at home. They do things right like use ridged noodles to hold in the cheese sauce. Let's just say if I lived in New York, I would probably eat there a lot!

Lardons, huh? I may have to try that. BTW, you two helped me find some great mac and cheese that night we went to Kitchen 233. Mmmm... gouda...

Until Coquette changed their preparation of it, that is...it's still good, just no longer out of this world.

The mac and cheese (made with gruyere and lardons) at Coquette (5th & Bainbridge) is the best mac and cheese I have ever had, bar none.
