“I suggest blowing off your diet just to visit Rockit every day next week to experience all of the cheesy goodness; it’s a good way to try pricey ingredients that you normally wouldn’t try, such as truffles and foie gras. And you may even find that these ingredients may become your new favorites. I have tried three of the five featured macs already, and let me tell you, the mac promotion is an event NOT to be missed–you will be dreaming out the ones you just ate, and salivating about the next day’s featured one.”

“Last night I got my “Mac Attack” on at Rockit River North. I was delighted to be invited as a guest to preview this year’s Mac Madness creations. Mac & Cheese is a favorite amongst most people, myself included, and definitely a staple comfort food. It’s simple and basic in nature – noodles and cheese – yet in recent years Mac & Cheese has been revived with unexpected additions and surprises. Rockit’s Annual Mac Madness is anything but simple and basic. Each year I am amazed at the incredible, unique macaroni dishes the restaurant serves. This year is no exception. Prepare to drool, then grab your calendar and make a reservation so you too can indulge in an ooey-gooey richness of flavors.”

“I love NCAA March Madness!!! Since the first time I filled out a bracket in 1997 (and won!), I have loved this annual sporting event. I read sports pages, commentaries and watch ESPN for the entirety of the tournament. There is a part of this tournament that is new to me and it may be new to a lot of you too and that is MAC MADNESS! What is Mac Madness you ask? It is an annual event at Rockit Bar & Grill in Chicago (2 locations, River North and Wrigley). From March 12 to March 16, Rockit Bar & Grill will offer a different macaroni and cheese every day. (Click here for the schedule). Each dish will offer it’s own gourmet but rustic spin that fits right in with Rockit’s character. Rockit (like the name indicates) has a cool and casual air about it while maintaining a suave, current design. With leather seats, rich dark panels and some natural looking brickwork, I felt I was hanging out in my favorite rock star’s lounge. (I kept thinking this is how Lenny Kravitz would decorate his man cave).”
