His classic Roadhouse Macaroni & Cheese is about as good as it gets, using local milk in the sauce and only the best cheeses, such as Cabot cheddar, which he caramelizes with Martelli pasta.

Zingerman's Roadhouse, Ann Arbor Everything at Zingerman's is fresh and likely grown on one of its farms, so it should come as no surprise that Chef Alex Young takes his mac and cheese seriously. We also sampled a ham version and lobster mac, which includes jalapenos. Executive Chef Aaron Cozadd carries on the original recipe, which mixes a creamy bechamel with Parmesan cheese, penne noodles, tangy Pinconning cheese and a topping of sharp Vermont cheddar and panko crumbs for a toasty crunch.

The 'Most Macked Mac and Cheese' at the Union is the one Kid Rock and Guy Fieri raved about on the Food Network's 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.' I'm glad I visited here first because it set the bar high, which made for great comparisons. I was pleasantly surprised that the award-winning, best-known mac and cheese in the state lived up to the hype.
