This NYC Restaurant Serves Burgers On Fried Mac 'N Cheese Buns
Brooklyn-based eatery The Bedford has garnered a reputation amongst New Yorkers for its next-level "pub cuisine" and here's why: It's the epitome of comfort food. Let's take one of their most iconic dishes, the Mac and Cheese Burger, for example. What happens when you take a cheeseburger and swap its buns for fried mac and cheese? Well, perfection. That's what you get, folks.
Now let's chat about how the magic is made, shall we? First up is the four cheese Bechamel sauce, which features a blend of butter, flour, milk, garlic and onion powder, oregano, pepper, chili powder, and salt. The chef adds in a huge amount of cheese-specifically, Swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan varieties-and combines it with macaroni.
Then mix, mix, mix.
Once it's tossed onto the pan and carefully spread into a mac 'n cheese sheet, it goes in the freezer for chilling. When it's ready, a round ring-mold is used to create the bun-like shape, and each one is doused in a flour, egg, and breadcrumbs coating.

Now time to turn our attention to the burger. The grass-fed beef deserves a little love, too. The patty is seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then topped with more cheese. This place just place gets me.
After the burger's cooked, the mac and cheese buns are popped in the fryer and crisped. They're smothered in smoked smoked paprika aioli and it's sandwiched together. I wanna be clear about something: Beauty like this does not come around every day. JUST LOOK AT IT. They add "old bay fries" for good measure and then it's chow down time.
FYI, I refuse to eat a burger with regular buns ever again. The Bedford's ruined it now. K, byeeee.
