You Are Going To Love Arizona’s First Mac And Cheese Festival
Arizona’s traditional food culture is best known for some mighty tasty Sonoran Mexican food but the foodie scene has been slowly evolving over the years to include a wide variety of other cuisines. While our state may not be the birthplace of macaroni and cheese, we do have some restaurants that feature delicious renditions of the comfort food. If you love digging into a bowl of this creamy, savory dish, then you will love attending one incredibly unique food festival next month.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
