Bizarre Bites: Mac and Cheese Pancakes
Mac 'n cheese and pancakes together forever?
Bizarre Bites: Mac and Cheese Pancakes
Note: Frida Garza is spending the rest of her summer on the trail of Philly’s weirdest foods. First up: BeerCakes
If you think macaroni and cheese doesn’t belongs in your breakfast, think again. Honey’s Sit ’n Eat (800 N. Fourth St.), the home-style cookin’ place nestled in NoLibs, has concocted a new addition to your breakfast table: Mac and Cheese Pancakes. The restaurant is famous for its creative brunch items (we’re talking no-reservations, two-hour-wait-on-a-Saturday-morning famous), but this one seems to take the cake. No pun intended.
When chef Michael Thomas first rolled out the cheesy creation, the combination provoked more fear than salivation. “People thought they would be gross,” he told me, “but then they started eating them.” Any culinary hesitation his customers had disappeared with their first bite. Yes, it’s made with whole elbow noodles and real cheese in the batter, making these lightly browned cakes extra rich and gooey. And topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup, they’re as sweet as they are savory. If you’re up for the challenge, come hungry — and ask for a glass of water with your order. This one’s a serious mouthful.
