Macovember is Stacked from top to bottom

November is MACovember at Stacked restaurants. Where Mac & Cheese is king and customization rules the day.

I’ve introduced in a previous Stacked post, there are cool iPad display at every table. You simply touch and swipe on the screen, choosing and ordering when and exactly what you want. It is super easy and allows you to pay and split the check among the guests right on the iPad. This easy customization is at the heart of the STACKED concept. They offer America’s favorite foods (Burgers, Pizza, Salads and Mac ‘n’ Cheese among others). You choose among dozens of ingredients to create the perfect meal for your taste or just select one of their recommended signature items.

Since it is MACovember and because I love Mac & Cheese, I had to to order my customized mac & cheese dish right away. You can either build your own from scratch or modify from a selected menu dish. I really wanted lobster in my mac & cheese so I started off with the Lobster Mac “n Cheese and got busy, adding Jalapeño Bacon, a fried egg, roasted garlic, sundries tomatoes, fresh basil and topped it all off with Parmesan bread crumbs. It was so lip-(s) Macing good!

Make one for yourself or share it with a friend as a side dish like I did. Either way you can’t lose.

There is a large selection of cocktails, wine and beers-even adult milk shakes. We could’t pass them on.

The Pretty in Pink (Tequila, lemonade, cranberry, agave and lime juice) and a Cadillac Margarita (Karma Tequila, agave nectar, lime juice, and a float of Grand Marnier) really hit the spot.

Wendy loves salad. She was in a happy salad-land because Stacked has a lot of healthy options as well. You can stack your own salad like we did above with, candied pecans, dried cranberries, strawberries, hard boiled eggs, spring lettuce mix, feta cheese, avocado, mushrooms, cucumber, sun dried tomatoes, red onions, and pepperoncinis. Pick your own dressings as well.

How about a side of wings? I loved these grilled medium spicy chicken wings called Wing IT!. They have a hint of sweet chili glaze and are served with carrots and ranch dressing. Crispy outside but all so tender inside!

We’ve all had Parmesan Fries but try these made with sweet potatoes and chipotle mayo on the side for dipping, delicious! By the way this is the small size.

Did you know that there are 16,128,000 different gluten free burger combinations at STACKED?! Fortunately I’m not gluten sensitive, but that gives you an idea of the huge amount of options you could use to create your own personalized burger made to your unique wants and needs.

On this night I started with the Pastrami Burger and customized what I wanted into it. Starting with a Brioche bun and a third pound Angus beef patties. Then I added, both jack and Swiss cheese, pickles, onion strings, green leaf lettuce and a spicy brown mustard to go with the pastrami. A unique and very tasty burger.

Of course we couldn’t visit without trying the infamous Candied Bacon below on the right. Some people come and order 10 orders of these. Well a bit exaggeration, but you get the idea. 🙂

Candied Bacon is a thick cut cherrywood smoked bacon basted with map syrup and brown sugar that is all slowly baked until caramelized. Its a perfect blend of savory and sweet. We decided to finish it all off with a premium ice cream milk shake. In this case we tried and loved the Mudslide that consists of espresso, Oreo, caramel, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream on top. Ahhh, felt like 8 years old again.

Don’t be confused by the easy iPad ordering, Stacked is a full-service restaurant. Servers are always around to help and offer suggestions. They also have an app that you can use to preorder or place a take out order.
