re: Best mac and cheese in Baton Rouge area

Having time to do some research before the birthday event, my wife and I went on a mac and cheese crawl to four of the earlier recommendations: Hannah's Q, Our Mom's, The Big Cheezy, and Gatti's. We brought home samples and let my granddaughter judge them.

The results were:
1. Gatti's
2. Our Mom's
3. Hannah's Q
4. The Big Cheezy

This surprised my wife and I as we thought she'd pick Our Mom's since it is the most like Kraft, even a deeper yellow color like Kraft than the others.

Not surprisingly, she did not like The Big Cheezy at all, as my wife and I didn't care for it either. The sample we had few noodles, almost 50-50 ratio to the Bechamel sauce, and the seasoning was not that enticing.

My wife and I both preferred Hannah's because it served a smoke gouda cheese that actually had smokey flavor. We ranked Our Mom's second, Gatti's, and The Big Cheezy fourth.

The crawl was kind of fun and we may check out a few more places. Thanks again for the input.

Stouffer's is a good brand.

Good to know, thanks. The Denham location is where I go to grab one visiting my mom. I’ll hit up Essen to try. Idk why but I’ve always liked Gattis.

I could not disagree more. The Essen Ln location still has the same pizza as always. No difference.

The only difference is that the building is much nicer now after the remodel. Employees are always smiling and in a good mood.
