I'm a manager at a Chick-fil-A and I can confirm that we put a layer of shredded monterey cheddar cheese over the top of the pan of mac & cheese and bake it in the oven. It's great. Order an 8ct nugget with a medium mac & cheese and mix it all in a bowl with some buffalo sauce, you'll thank me later.

Lol they asked me what side a week ago I said Mac n cheese cuz I assumed maybe I got fries and a side but nope no fries not even pity fries.

There's a quick service mac and cheese restaraunt chain in Wisconsin called Macs macaroni and Cheese Shop, with loads of different mix ins for the mac and cheese, and they come in a small cast iron pan with melted cheese on it with some crunchy bread.

[@nauticalsandwich9003]

This is true. Mac's is the best

[@damienmansfield3308]

I used to work at KFC. The reason for the randomness in coloration and texture is because KFC will take the leftover cups of Mac and Cheese at the end of the night and dump them back into pans and then reheat and serve them the next day. They also do this with their green beans and baked beans. Mashed potatoes and gravy are made fresh every day, same with potato wedges, popcorn chicken, etc.

Panera is definitely fast food galivanting as a bakery. I went in there to buy a loaf of their wheat bread, which you can do and I did from the self-service kiosk, but was met by the manager telling me they wouldn't give it to me because they needed it for sandwiches and weren't going to bake any more bread.

[@keithgraham9547]

In the 1960's, you had KFC get franchised by John Y. Brown. Jerricho had a chain of restaurants similar to Frisch's, stayed around into the early 1980's. A few are still around, independently owned and still popular with the locals where they exist. Jerricho tried to diversify and started Long John Silver's. It was modeled after "Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips," who was an actor. He was the bobby in "Mary Poppins." Treacher's didn't last long, but LJS took off and quickly dwarfed the Jerry's segment of the business, leading to Jerry's mostly going away. In the 1980's or 1990's (I think the 90's), Yum Brands bought LJS. I don't know if they bought just that business segment, or all of Jerrico a d then dumped the Jerry's Restaurants. Yum Brands also bought KFC and a struggling A&W Root Beer. They gave them all what is, IMO, a sterile corporate personality and menus with no actual taste, except for maybe the fried fish. Such is homogenization, exported across the world.

The second he said Mac n cheese my mom yelled, “Chick-fil-a!!!” 😂😂

[@jeffmalone5557]

I said the same thing.

[@rip607]

same

[@ashleydowney1222]

I love Chick-fil-a's macaroni and cheese. I am bit biased though as a Chick-fil-a employee. And yes they put the macaroni and cheese in the oven. And they put 3 cheeses on the mac and cheese. And you can order a large macaroni and cheese.

this is valuable information, thank you!

Y’all should do a video on how southern people are amazing at Carrying conversation. You could go to ask them a question and somehow you will have a conversation for like two hours.

Shells are ok but I prefer the ridged elbows they hold a huge pocket of molten cheese

Bless your rank is back!!!

I used to work at KFC, the only reson I ate it is cause sometimes I got so sick of everything else that I stopped caring. How it's "made". We take a frozen tray of it, let it sit on a rolling tray thing till it defrosts, and slop that into a container. That alone grosses me out. Then, we re-freeze it till we need it. All texture? Gone. When we need it, we stick it in the microvave to defrost THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE. If you care at all, you stir it (I tried REALLY hard to heat up as best I could). If you don't, you leave for 7 minutes (it doesn't rotate, there no turn table) till there's burnt spots and dry edges, dump hot water on it to pretend its saucy, and bring it stright to the line to serve. I've seen all these people freaking out that the gravy comes in powder form and the mashed potatoes are basically instant, but the MAC AND CHEESE is the real abomination. That and the wings, I'm glad they got discontinued.

Cracker Barrel white cheddar and pepper mac and cheese is SOOOO good. Definitely my favorite Mac and cheese

[@lilyblake5887]

My rank of chain restaurant mac and cheese I've had that nobody asked me to write. 1. Kick Back Jacks 2. Bojangles 3. Outback (literally the only thing I eat at outback) 4. Panera 5. Chick Fil A 6. Cheesecake factory 7. Mcallister's 8. KFC

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Actually the KFC headquarters really is in Louisville, Kentucky.

[@ashleydowney1222]

Yep. I live in Kentucky and live down the street from a KFC. I haven't eaten there since 2010.

“This is whiter than a Zac Brown Band concert” LMFAO. Love me some ZBB. Saw them live 13 times and seeing them for my 14th time at Wrigley Field in Chicago over the summer

Only one of these that I've tried is the Captain D's - it is decent but definitely in the most artificial tasting sort of way. Tastes more like a good boxed mac and cheese rather than anything resembling homemade. When I've got my choice I like that hard baked homemade version where I can get a cruncy corner piece and walk around with a chunk of it in my hand eating it like a hot dog :D.

[@janejones7638]

I didn't know Captain D's was still open.

[@dgrissom007]

If you can rank Panera's you should have included Jim 'n Nicks. They have a drive thru at our local store. Very good Mac 'n Cheese IMO.

[@cierranicole5485]

I was thinking that

[@MrRkaperak]

They would be the opposite of fast food. Quick service maybe. But the whole point of their food is it being cooked low and slow.

[@jenniferharvey5340]

Yesssss. Best Mac n cheese ever

[@laurenragle5228]

Evidently, I've been sleeping on the Bojangles Mac + Cheese. But I knew it with the CFA + Panera. My 2 favs. ❤️

[@rawyouout]

Try QuikTrip mac

[@yodatw]

"It has to taste good because that is how food works." Nicely done my man! I have a tactical spork, they are real and it is grand. I use it for camping and fishing and yes it is super useful even comes apart to use as a knife to stab a mean squirrel or crazy possum if you need to. Stay away from my tactical spork...lol
