Mooney’s, an eight-location chain across upstate New York, is the self-described "Home of the Mac and Cheese." Dairy and carbs are serious business here. The selection is astounding with well more than a dozen variations on the classic. There’s taco macaroni and cheese, lobster, Philly cheesesteak, Buffalo chicken, stuffed banana peppers, BLT and many more. The most momentous of all the selections is the Rodeo Mac. Weighing in at over a pound, this massive plate features Mooney’s original Cheddar cheese macaroni with ground beef and pulled pork, and it's finished with fried onion petals and barbecue sauce.
Word to the wise: Prepare for a nap afterward.
