10th Annual Mac 'n' Cheese Throwdown

The Mac ’n’ Cheese Throwdown returns Saturday, March 7, 2026, celebrating its 10th Anniversary at TENK West Bank. Cleveland’s original mac ’n’ cheese festival brings together 15–20 local chefs and returning champions for an all-you-can-eat afternoon of bold, creative comfort food. Guests can taste unlimited mac, enjoy live music, vote for the People’s Choice Award, and catch interactive challenges and crowd-favorite moments. More than a food festival, the Throwdown is a fundraiser benefiting W.A.G.S. 4 Kids, supporting service dogs for children with disabilities across Northeast Ohio.
