Two award-winning top chefs, a news station producer, a fine-palated foodie, and a podcast host sit down at a table together – no, this isn’t the first line of a very obscure bar joke, this is what happened at the 4th annual San Diego Mac ‘n Cheese Fest!

I had the honor of joining the expert panel of judges at the San Diego Mac & Cheese Fest, and I had a forking blast helping decide the winner of the Best Gourmet Mac n’ Cheese in San Diego. I can’t reveal everything that went down behind the scenes, but I can share a few judge’s secrets with all of you.

So who won this cheesy, covetous prize? You’ll have to listen to find out, but I will tell you a few of my favorites:

• Uptown Tavern: http://www.uptowntavernsd.com
• The Smoking Gun: http://www.thesmokinggunsd.com
• Viewpoint Brewery: https://www.viewpointbrewing.com
• Stacked: http://www.stacked.com
• Lazy Dog Restaurant: https://www.lazydogrestaurants.com
