Once the domain of kid cuisine, mac and cheese is making another comeback. Besides landing on menus around town, it’s the focus of Bazinga Eatery, a kid-friendly spot in North Park where you can carb-load with fried mac and cheese balls, mac and cheese pizza, and 10 different takes on the classic dish. For purists, there’s a sharp Cheddar, Fontina, and mozzarella cheese mac with cavatappi pasta and a crispy panko topping, but it pays to order something more adventurous, like the Chorizo, with smoky cubes of chorizo, roasted poblano peppers, jalapeños, and spiced chicharrón crumbled on top.
