Kitchen 24 vs. The Kitchen: Who has the Best Mac & Cheese?

With similar restaurant names, why not compare two feel-good comfy foods back to back? First, there's the Kitchen 24 in Hollywood with their Smac & Cheese ($8.95) made out of cheddar, mascarpone, smoked gruyere and topped with a basil herbed crust. Over in Silver Lake, The Kitchen serves it's Mac N' Cheese ($8.00) with extra sharp cheddar in a garlicky sauce.

Play by Play, Kitchen 24 vs. The Kitchen

Consistency: Saucy vs. Gooey
Texture: Soft vs. Al Dente
Flavor: Rich vs. Tasty
Presentation: Fancy vs. Homemade
Next Time: Try something else on the menu vs. Order it Again

As for the best in LA, the best I've had was the Brie Mac & Cheese at La Di Da in West Hollywood. Of course, with location being such an important aspect of a restaurant's life, the restaurant shut its doors a few years ago.

I wanna pimp for the Mac & Cheese at Pete's Cafe & Bar downtown. Also their blue cheese french cut fries are a carb-o-licious gooey treat.
