If you'd trade your mother for a solid helping of mac & cheese, clear your calendar for this Saturday and find your way to the Mac Off at Patriot's Point. If you've never been, it's exactly what it sounds like. A bunch of local restaurants getting together to out-cheese each other. They'll serve samples of their best macaroni & cheese, and you—the hearty, oh-so-discerning eater—can help decide whose 'roni rules.

Here's why Grit's going: There's a friggin' zip line. Really...

 

Liquid Planet Water Park

 

Well, it's not going to look QUITE like that, because there's no mountains at Patriot's Point, but you get our drift. Also? We're not sure how that's going to shake out with a belly full of mac n' cheese, but we're going to find out. They'll also have cooking demos by Rio Bertolini's ...
