we take cheese seriouslyMadame K's macaroni adventure
2007-04-11
Madame K's is a Ballard restaurant that used to be a brothel (here's a review of the whole place). The waitresses wear lingerie and the line is always long (perhaps for that very reason?). It is so worth the wait. The macaroni is conventional in all respects except one. You see, it is traditional cheeses, macaroni-shaped noodles, baked, with a breadcrumb topping. But the garlic! Oy vey!
Caroline's Assessment: The macaroni is deliciously garlicky, garlicky strong. Not at all raw garlic, but permeating flavor of powerful garlic muscles in, not overwhelming the homey cheesiness but still amazingly present. Roma tomatoes on top provide nice color contrast, too.
Christine likes the shallow dish so there is a nice chewy (topping of baked cheese) to soft (noodly insides) ratio. Also recommended at Madame K's: Sangria! With all kinds of fun berries! It's especially nice in the summertime on the back patio.
