New Hampshire i not known for its cheese (though we do have some sweet cheese shops!) Everyone knows that Wisconsin holds that honor. What the Granite State is better known for is long, cold winters and a fair bit of snow. Not that we’re complaining. There’s something pretty great about the cold weather here. Partly because it means it’s time for more winter fun, but also because it means comfort food is on the menu. And, there’s none better than mac and cheese. For the best, check out this New Hampshire institution!

For the most comforting mac and cheese you’ve ever head, head to Mr. Mac’s in either Portsmouth or Manchester.

They’ve got the traditional standby of just plain cheese. Though, there’s certainly nothing “plain” about this.
