Vote for your favorite mac and cheese in Vermont!
While the exact origin of mac & cheese is unknown, the earliest recorded recipe dates back to 1769. According to Smithsonian, it likely made its way from France to the United States via Thomas Jefferson, who later served the dish at a state dinner in 1802. It quickly became a staple American comfort food and a college dorm room staple when Kraft began selling their boxed version in 1937. Today, mac & cheese is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, nowhere more so than in Vermont. Thanks to a $2.2 billion dairy industry, Vermont has plenty of local cheese that chefs across the state are using to put their own interesting twists on the classic dish. Who makes the best mac & cheese in the state? That’s up to you to decide. Vote for your favorite once per day until voting ends on Tuesday, June 26 at noon ET. The winning restaurants will be announced on Friday, July 6 on 10Best.com. Read the official Readers' Choice rules here.
