Craft and Kraft

Craft is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City.

Kraft Mac & Cheese is one of my favorite foods.

The only thing that makes them different is the K and the C...just kidding.

Craft is a wonderful restaurant from chef/owner Tom Colicchio of Top Chef fame.  It has a great atmosphere -- low-key but elegant.  Really delicious food with fresh ingredients.  It's generous portions that you share in the middle of the table.

The whole menu is a la carte...so you pick a couple fish or meat dishes, plus some sides (that come in great copper pots), and appetizers if you like -- and wait for it to arrive.  It's the perfect place for a celebratory meal, a post theatre meal (even though it's not in the theatre district), or a random Sunday night dinner.  Also visit Craft Bar and Craft Steak for other really good meals.

What can I say about mac & cheese. I love it. I could eat it once a week, but I don't. My favorite is probably the Three Cheese shells, but i'll eat any kind -- any day.

I've tried to make homemade mac & cheese, but it doesn't come out as good as Kraft.

If anyone has a recipe for me to try, please share!

# of dishes: 3.5 out of 5 dishes - it's hard to compare mac & cheese to a real restaurant....

  1. I agree about the homemade mac & cheese. Rick made it the other day for the first time and it was tasty but I think it takes practice to perfect. A little too overdone on the bottom and needed some Gouda cheese. Kraft knows what they're doing. There are a few great restaurants in NY that have some very yummy mac & cheese :)
