Call for Mac & Cheese Recipes!
Homeroom is a specialty Mac & Cheese restaurant opening soon in Oakland. Even better, they're running a mac and cheese recipe challenge! You don't have to be local to enter (or win), and the best recipes will be included in their upcoming cookbook. I suggest posting your mac'n'cheese Instructable, then sending along the link as your entry - we'd like to see what you've made, too!
Details from the Homeroom website:
The winning dish will be selected from a group of 10 finalists, who will be invited to show off their mac and cheese at cook-off party held right here in Oakland. But don’t worry out-of-towners, if we choose your recipe one of us will cook it up for you.
But there’s a catch.
For your recipe to qualify for the grand prize or for a spot in the cookbook, you must follow a few simple rules:
* You must use only California cheeses in your mac and cheese.
* All recipes must be based on 1 pound of dried pasta.
* The retail cost of all your ingredients must equal or be less than $20. This includes pasta, milk, butter, flour, cheeses and whichever veggies or meats you decide to include.
* Email your entries topmac@homeroom510.com no later October 15, 2010. Be sure to include your name, contact info, and a detailed recipe, including brand-names.
* Gluten-free and vegan recipes are welcome and encouraged!

What do they mean, "California cheeses?" As in, cheese that you can easily buy in California, or cheese that is made in California?
. Don't know for sure, but would be will to bet a quarter that the cheese must be made in CA, using CA milk.
Well count me out. That's a fairly limiting requirement, isn't it??
1) Yeah. But it's a local restaurant in Oakland, CA, so I can see how they would want to promote CA products. It would be different if it was a nation-wide chain or located in Mumbai.
2) Keep in mind that I'm just guessing. Check with the contest organizers for an authoritative answer.

Check labels - I bet you've got a surprising amount of CA cheese available in your local yuppie grocery.
Plenty of yuppie stores, yes - not sure about the origins of the cheese. Probably Canadian, though (at least the stuff we buy).
. YUPpies!?!? We ain't got no YUPpies in South Arkansas. Gotta travel at least two hours to get to anything close to U. ;)
I'll bet there's a surprising amount of yuppie grocery stores in his neck of the woods just like there are country stores in my part of town.
