Fried Cheesy Macaroni Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Grilled Mac and CHeese Sandwich From DudeFoods is Epic

— October 22, 2015 — Lifestyle
This grilled mac and cheese sandwich is an usual take on your classic grilled cheese sandwich. Created by Nick Chipman at the blog DudeFoods, the Macaroni and Cheese Grilled Cheese replaces the bread in a traditional grilled cheese with fried slabs of cheesy pasta. Hardly healthy, the recipe introduces a new use of the deep fried macaroni and cheese seen on many burgers, but in a similar vein.

If you're curious about this mac and cheese sandwich and want to try it at home, you first need to make homemade macaroni and cheese, which you then flatten, freeze and cut into squares. After dipping them in flour, egg wash and panko breadcrumbs, you can deep fry the squares and create buns for the sandwich.
Trend Themes
1. Fried Cheesy Pasta - Creating deep fried slabs of cheesy pasta as buns for sandwiches is a trend in innovative comfort food.
2. Alternative Bread - Reimagining traditional sandwich bread with creative alternatives is a growing trend in the food industry.
3. Gourmet Grilled Cheese - Innovative grilled cheese sandwiches that feature unique ingredients or preparation methods are gaining popularity as a trend in the fast casual dining sector.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Casual Dining - Fast casual restaurants that offer innovative, gourmet sandwiches with unique ingredients and preparation methods could tap into the growing market of consumers seeking unique comfort food experiences.
2. Frozen Food - Frozen food companies that incorporate trendy comfort foods, such as deep fried mac and cheese, into their product offerings could appeal to consumers seeking convenience and nostalgia.
3. Food Blogging - Food blogs that feature innovative comfort food recipes, such as the macaroni and cheese grilled cheese sandwich, could attract a broad audience seeking new and exciting food experiences.
