The Mac Factory in Camden Market, London, only has one thing on their menu: macaroni and cheese. Fortunately, they mastered their specialty pretty well. The place is so popular among tourists and locals alike that it goes through 30 tons of Cheddar cheese per year!
“We came up with this idea in about 2014. We had a vision to change people’s perception of mac ‘n’ cheese from the old diner classic, the old canteen staple, the ready-made mac ‘n’ cheese that people thought it was a bit naff,” founder Graham Bradbury told Business Insider. “We wanted to reinvent it and bring something fresh to the UK with the flavors of the mac ‘n’ cheese bringing it out there.”
The Mac Factory serves up six delicious mac and cheese options with all different toppings, including pesto, jalepenos, mushrooms, chorizo and chili con carne.
The food stall uses a rich béchamel base to start off all of their mac and cheeses and mixes it with Cheddar cheese, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and parsley. Last but not least, all flavors are topped with a signature, mouthwatering Parmesan herb crumble.
