The world is beginning to learn that everything is better with mac ’n cheese on it, which is why I try to keep my face mask full of it at all times. Or, I suppose, it could be easier just to eat it on top of a hamburger. That is one of many specialty options at a south Lawrence restaurant featuring beers and burgers.
