I did it out of curiosity but was shocked at how good it actually was. The restaurant was Rattlesnake and they use a local organic dark chocolate combined with a creamy mac n cheese that includes bacon and hints of spicy peppers. in short, it was effing phenomenal. i was shocked and beyond impressed.jackihttp://justaddcheese.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-82197601938055274622007-08-20T22:37:00.000-05:002007-08-20T22:37:00.000-05:00It took me quite some time to try the mac & cheese...It took me quite some time to try the mac & cheese & chocolate at Jack's Bistro. After sampling some of the safer menu items and seeing the passion there, I came to trust that anything this chef is sending out should not be considered a gimmick. I found the chef/owner, Ted, ("Jack's Bistro" is named after the T.V show Three's Company)to be very warm, & often comes out of the kitchen to thank his patrons. I gotta say, I find the mac and cheese and chocolate delightful, and witnessed a elderly lady near me scraping the bowl with her spoon. It's not Kraft and hersheys. It's blended cheeses and belgian chocolate. I believe this chef is on the right track that food should be FUN. The desserts at Jack's are fun also, and house made. I have learned after several visits to Jack's Bistro, to trust that anything this guy puts on his menu will eventually become something I've GOT to try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-91773352317232759012007-08-13T12:17:00.000-05:002007-08-13T12:17:00.000-05:00had dinner there last night- the place was jumpin'...had dinner there last night- the place was jumpin' thanks in part to the 12$ entree, if you sit at the bar, and "sushi- sundays"<BR/><BR/>I must admit that none of us were up for the mac and cheese- bet we did try the "guiness tenderloin" quite good. why, you could put that sauce on an old shoe and eat it. We licked the plate.<BR/><BR/>I recomend skipping dessert- simply just not worth it- but that is ok, there are plenty of other things to recomend about the place.<BR/>cool kitchy decor<BR/>great neighborhood atmosphere<BR/>damn good food<BR/>good people watching<BR/>great beer, wine and cocktail lists<BR/>that's enough for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-91077527151832255132007-08-11T16:04:00.000-05:002007-08-11T16:04:00.000-05:00OOh-MY GOD!had it-loved it~~~! did NOT want to sha...OOh-MY GOD!<BR/>had it-loved it~~~! did NOT want to share with the rest of the table. <BR/>Just as well; its diet food for four only. I am making it today for the weeks' leftover's ala lunch. Or maybe... I better share a supper with friends tomorrow night.<BR/>And funny thing; I am not a chocolate lover per se, but this is not just choc/and cheese but savory pasta with a tinge of sweet and a salty darkness to contradict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-87763327943204111302007-08-04T09:59:00.000-05:002007-08-04T09:59:00.000-05:00chocolate has been used as a background flavour fo...chocolate has been used as a background flavour for years- unusual yes, original no.<BR/><BR/>PS never heard of Jacks?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
