Here’s a truly cheesy holiday: National Mac and Cheese Day, celebrated in its gooey goodness on Friday, July 14.

Macaroni and cheese will share the spotlight with another food this week though, as Friday is also National French Fry Day.

Whether you celebrate by whipping up classic mac and cheese from a store-bought box, cook from scratch, or order it from your favorite restaurant, the comfort food can take you back in time while keeping you presently satisfied.

Mac and Cheese Day 2023 offers and a Stouffer’s contest

There are far fewer bargains on mac and cheese compared to French fries this Friday, but you can get discounted food at Noodles & Company’s, taste some lobster mac & cheese at Panera restaurants in the Northeast, and enter to win an opportunity to taste a new mac from Stouffers.

If you’re looking for deals, try checking the social media accounts of your favorite restaurants. For instance, MacCheesy’s will be offering a buy-one-get-one-free special Friday on all small mac and cheese dishes at its locations in Joplin and Springfield, Missouri. And JT’s Grill in DeSoto, Kansas will have half-price mac and cheese all day.

And you can always make your own.
