We get to have our Friday lunch today. That makes me happy. We're going for macaroni. 

Here's my mood going in:

I can't get that excited yet. I mean I like noodles, but when I hear the word "mac", I think of processed cheese; the kind with orange powder that comes in the white envelope with your blue box of Kraft,....or Velveeta. If macaroni had a sound word it would be "Glop" which is akin to goulash (I think that's called an onomotapeia). I'm going to give it a whirl because I don't have to cook. And because adventures with food and my best friend are my favorite kind. 

Dat Mac Food Truck is located at 85 N. 11th in Beaumont, though it moves around (like trucks do). You can check them out on Facebook or Instagram to see where they are. Each "bowl" or dish runs about $8. 

Our good buddy Paul told us about it. It looks like they usually have a menu that has around three items which change every week or so. All recipes are macaroni inspired. 

This week Dat Mac is serving 

 Cheesy Chicken Alfredo- 

  

Served hot, it's bowtie pasta with rich Alfredo. They top it with grilled chicken and fresh Parmesan. So good I want to put on my yoga pants on and take a nap. 

Chili Mac (fancy Frito pie) 

  

Dat Mac broke the rules here. I would never have thought of mixing corn chips with pasta, but it works. This bowl of goodness is basically a light chili mac with Fritos. I'm a texture snob and dismiss any food that disturbs my delicate palate, but somehow the smooth chili and noodles work with the crunchiness of the Fritos. And my friend, heartburn, hasn't even come for a visit. 

Four Cheese Grilled Dat Mac Sammich-

  

It's just as big a mouthful eating it as saying the name. Once again breaking the rules, Dat Mac puts noodles on bread (two ingredients I wouldn't have seen in a relationship). So it's like a macaroni grilled cheese. They have add-ons. Jason said yes to all of them. If you can't see, this sandwich was made more beautiful with the addition of fresh jalepeno, grilled red onion, bacon and a fried egg. Jason says "It was a cacophony of guilty pleasures," (By the way, I spelled cacophony without spell help, but I would never have thought of using the word). Oh yeah, they top it off with hot sauce. This was probably my favorite.

Dat Mac. Go by and try it out. This was one of our most unique experiences. 

  
Tip: If you go with two people you'll be able to justify ordering everything on the menu. Jason and I need no such justification.
