Description
Two award-winning top chefs, a news station producer, a fine-palated foodie, and a podcast host sit down at a table together – no, this isn’t the first line of a very obscure bar joke, this is what happened at the 4th annual San Diego Mac ‘n Cheese Fest!   I had the honor of joining the expert panel of judges at the San Diego Mac & Cheese Fest, and I had a forking blast helping decide the winner of the Best Gourmet Mac n’ Cheese in San Diego. I can’t reveal everything that went down behind the scenes, but I can share a few judge’s secrets with all of you.   So who won this cheesy, covetous prize? You’ll have to listen to find out, but I will tell you a few of my favorites:   Uptown Tavern: http://www.uptowntavernsd.com The Smoking Gun: http://www.thesmokinggunsd.com Viewpoint Brewery: https://www.viewpointbrewing.com Stacked: http://www.stacked.com Lazy Dog Restaurant: https://www.lazydogrestaurants.com   Are you ready for an adventure? Because I want to show you a side of the LA food scene that most people will never get to see! When you join me for a LA Food Adventure, we will visit 6 restaurants to fill your belly, taste some drinks, socialize with some incredibly cool people, and get behind-the-scenes access that others aren’t privy to.   You can learn more and reserve your spot at lafoodadventures.com.   Resources: Learn more at sandiegomacncheese.com Just Forking Around is produced by Podcast Masters
