National Mac & Cheese Day is observed every year on July 14, sharing the spotlight with the second half of National French Fry Day. Last year, we found all the restaurants that celebrated with cheesy (and cheap) mac and cheese. Prepare to celebrate and save on this food holiday.
While we won’t know what restaurants will be offering in 2024, here are all the deals you can expect to see based on deals from 2023.
It’s estimated that Americans consume around five boxes of mac and cheese a year. That tally seems low, especially for a household with kids. The carb and dairy-heavy dish was popularized during the Great Depression and World War II because of its simplicity. Plus, it’s just delicious.
