The summer Emily travels continues with a trip to visit my Aunt and Uncle again but this time back in Florida. One of my cousins, Kevin, from Germany and his friend have come to America to visit some beaches and take time off so I’m meeting up with them to lend a hand and give my Florida cousin, Michael, a break from the hectic family life. Pembroke Pines has been my second home since I was old enough to fly on a plane by myself and I love it here. Of course, it’s been a little while since I’ve visited and new places to eat have popped up and Michael has set aside time while the adults are working to have lunch at his new favorite spot by the house.
LOCATION: 15999 Pines Blvd. Pembroke Pines, FL 33027
I’ve never seen a grilled cheese and mac and cheese place that’s made to order before but I’m already wishing there was one of these in Rochester. It’s our new go to place and any time I come back to florida, we’re coming here. I love grilled cheese now but for me, pasta wins out over a sandwich. I heard mac & cheese has counter lineup that allows you to customize your dish and since I’m here visiting and Michael is treating me to lunch, I’m going all out.
This place has a set menu for people who like examples of options or for those who don’t want to get too complicated in building their own. Kevin and his friend order pepperoni pizza mac and cheese off the menu because their English is a little less than handy and I pick the Lobster and White Truffle Mac and Cheese off the menu because it looks too good to pass up on my first time here but Michael goes custom, all day. My Lobster mac is pretty expensive, coming in at $17.95 but Michael loves me an I’m okay with being the baby of the family sometimes. This mac comes with lobster, munster cheese, lobster cream, white truffle oil, and Scallions but i also add mushrooms and have them top it with some breadcrumbs before they toast it in their pizza oven like toaster with a conveyer belt.
I love mac and cheese. It’s great and I’m so pumped to have a place like this that does it to order with the cheese all melted and mixed in right in front of me. This is for sure our new must whenever I visit from now on and I’m already looking forward to coming back.
