Glaswegians have a real soft spot for a hearty portion of mac and cheese — it’s easily one of the city’s favourite comfort foods.
The existence of an entire appreciation society dedicated to this humble dish says it all. Everyone has their go-to spot and personal preferences when it comes to toppings.
Some swear by the classic version — the true test of any great mac and cheese, where the cheesy sauce and perfectly cooked macaroni shine — while others like to take it up a notch with extras like crispy bacon or an extra helping of cheese.
