Weekend Pick: Mac-&-Cheese Cookoff

On Facebook, I asked Coeur d’Alene Visitor Bureau to expand on that mac-and-cheese cookoff that’s being staged at the Greenbriar Sunday . Here’s the response: “Come taste some of the best Mac ‘n Cheese in town! Both restaurant and individual competitions. Chefs from our local restaurants will try their hand at creating the best mac ‘n cheese. Families welcome! The event is on Sunday, from 1-5 p.m. at the Greenbriar Inn, 315 Wallace. There is a free tasting (to the public) and chef competition for this MAC AND CHEESE event. Contributions to the fund-rasier are welcome. There will also be some auction items. There will be at least 20 chefs, both professional and non-professional involved in the event. The weather is supposed to be at least 70 degrees, so there will be deck and garden seating as well. We will provide cocktails, martinis, wines and beers for the event. Kids are welcome. We will have lemonade and huckleberry lemonade for the kids at no charge.
