Return of the Mac

Chef’s Night Off and MOKB Presents today announce that Return of The Mac, a food fest dedicated to mac n’ cheese, will come to Bloomington, Ind., for the first stop on its 2017 tour. After sell-out crowds in Indianapolis, event organizers will host the event in select Midwest markets. The popular food event will take place Sunday, April 2, 2017 at The Monroe County Convention Center (302 S College Ave.) in Bloomington. 

How it works

Attendees will sample cheesy creations from 20 top restaurants in Bloomington and southern Indiana while chefs put their own spin on everyone’s favorite comfort food.   

Dishes will be judged by high profile local foodies who will determine the winner of the Golden Noodle. Guests will have the chance to participate in the Yelp! Crowd Favorite competition. A portion of the proceeds will be benefit Bloomington Animal Care & Control.

About Chef’s Night Off

Chef’s Night Off is an ongoing series of “pirate” dinners, conceptualized and executed by cooks and bartenders from Indianapolis’ most respected restaurants. CNO provides an opportunity to showcase the developing talents of Indy’s culinary scene and locally owned restaurants. The chef’s interact with the guests to create a dining experience like no other.  There is no “razzle dazzle”, just the people who put the flame to the pan breaking loose for one night.  They get to bring their own cuisines to life, their way.
