I started fantasizing: Just how would a chef put his or her own special signature on this dish to make it deluxe? But the more I talked with chefs I know, the clearer it became that macaroni and cheese is exactly the kind of food that they like to cook for themselves, for family, and for friends on nights off. For a long time, I was reluctant (especially among my foodier friends) to admit how much I like to make macaroni and cheese.
