The Austin Mac & Cheese Festival

The Austin festival brings together the hottest chefs, eateries, and food trucks offering Austinites a taste of some of the cheesiest and most exciting dishes in town.

Attendees get to taste samples from each chef and vote for their favorites.

Last year, I had a blast at the 2021 Mac & Cheese Fest. So, of course, I was excited to attend the Austin Mac and Cheese Fest Media Preview Party for the 2022 festival.
