Main St Bistro Serves Up Fun and Flavor with Interactive "Mac-Over" Experience for National Mac and Cheese Day

Fans of the leading comfort food brand can discover hundreds of crave-worthy creations and chances to win exclusive mac & cheese-themed merch

BEAVERTON, Ore., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This National Macaroni & Cheese Day (July 14), Main St Bistro is giving mac & cheese the spotlight it deserves to elevate it from a simple side dish to the main event. With nearly two-thirds of young adults saying they lack basic cooking skills¹, the brand is helping home cooks everywhere turn a classic comfort food into an easy crave-worthy meal for the upcoming national food holiday. At the same time, people are increasingly looking for ways to get creative in the kitchen. According to an independent survey² of 1,000 Americans conducted by Main St Bistro, 73% of consumers enjoy dressing up mac & cheese with toppings and mix-ins, so the brand is stepping in to make "Mac-Over" creations easier than ever with an interactive "Mac-Over" Spinner for fans to discover and share surprising new craveable combos.

Main St Bistro offers a variety of delicious, fully prepared macaroni & cheese dishes that serve as a rich, high-quality base, taking the guesswork out of cooking and empowering anyone to create a standout meal with minimal effort. With inspiration for every palate, Main St Bistro's Mac-over Spinner creates hundreds of fun and surprising combos that inspire any craving, whether you're looking to turn up the heat, add texture or go all out:

• Try bold add-ins like green onions, hot honey drizzle or roasted red peppers. For a flavor-packed combo with extra protein, pair pulled pork with BBQ sauce and roasted corn.
• Layer on the crunch with toppings such as crispy bacon bits and fried onions, or for a unique twist consider adding crushed potato chips.
• For a chef-inspired combo, add sauteed mushrooms and grilled chicken or smoked sausage with truffle oil.
• Make it Mexican-inspired by adding ground beef (taco style) and pickled jalapenos.
• Get your greens in by sneaking in steamed broccoli or kale.

"People want meals that feel both exciting and achievable," said Anne Nelson, Reser's Brand Marketing Director. "Our 'Mac-Over' approach gives new and existing fans a simple, delicious starting point and endless ways to make it their own."

To bring the celebration beyond the plate, Main St Bistro's digital spinner experience delivers more than Mac-Overs: visitors also have the chance to instantly score over 600 prizes such as limited-edition National Macaroni & Cheese Day merch.
