View ProfileChef Dustin takes mac & cheese totally over the top in the best possible way with this incredible combination of flavors and textures. First, the pasta: He enrobes curly cavatappi in a creamy, rich sauce that blends Cheddar and Swiss cheeses for a perfect mix of sharpness and nuttiness. Umami-rich truffle takes it up another notch. Next, the chicken: He tosses pulled grilled breast meat with a buttery blend of Frank’s Hot Sauce, garlic, and brown sugar for sweet heat. The final touch: Crispy Fried Onions for contrasting crunch. Pair with a fresh green salad and indulge in classic comfort food with the kind of gourmet twist only a talented chef can provide.
