Return of the Mac: Noodles & Company Adds New Mac & Cheese Menu and Launches Improved rBST-Free Cheese Sauce
October 04 2017 - 8:30AM
Noodles & Company, serving classic noodle and pasta dishes from
around the world, today announced the return of three
guest-favorite specialty Mac & Cheese dishes as part of its
new, permanent World Famous Macs menu. The three macs – Truffle
Mac, BBQ Pork Mac and Buffalo Chicken Mac – join Noodles’ most
popular dish, Wisconsin Mac & Cheese®, on the new menu that is
available starting today at all Noodles & Company locations
nationwide.

“For more than 20 years, since Noodles & Company first
opened, our Wisconsin Mac & Cheese® has been the most popular
and celebrated item on the menu. In fact, last year alone we served
more than 15 million bowls of Wisconsin Mac & Cheese®,” said
Jonathan Tress, vice president of marketing at Noodles &
Company. “Last year we tested the mac menu as a seasonal offering,
and our guests overwhelmingly let us know that they love the
expanded mac menu and the ability to put an adult twist on their
favorite comfort food. For many guests, our Mac & Cheese is the
first step they take in exploring our menu of global flavors, and
we feel confident that the new mac menu will give our guests even
more to love about Noodles.”
The World Famous Macs menu is accompanied by the launch of a new
cheese sauce recipe featuring a stronger flavor profile and more
sharp cheddar cheese for an even more craveable taste. The cheese
sauce is also gluten and rBST-free, and like everything on Noodles’
core menu, the sauce contains no artificial colors, flavors,
preservatives or sweeteners. In addition to the better flavor, the
new cheese sauce holds better, creating a better at-home dining
experience for guests who take their food on the go, and recent
taste panels found that an overwhelming majority of guests prefer
the new sauce to the original.
To celebrate the return of the fan-favorite mac dishes as
permanent items on its new World Famous Macs menu, the Company
invites all guests to enjoy a free small bowl of its beloved
Wisconsin Mac & Cheese® with purchase of any regular-sized
entrée at participating restaurants on National Noodle Day, Friday,
Oct. 6. Further, any NoodlesREWARDS guest who checks in Friday,
Oct. 6, will receive a reward in their NoodlesREWARDS inbox on
Saturday, Oct. 7. On a return visit, NoodlesREWARDS members can
take $2 off any Mac & Cheese dish, valid through Oct. 17,
2017.
The four Mac & Cheese dishes featured on Noodles &
Company’s new World Famous Macs menu include:
- Wisconsin Mac & Cheese®: Noodles’ famous
Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, a classic blend of cheddar and jack
cheeses, cream and elbow macaroni.
- Truffle Mac: Noodles’ signature Mac &
Cheese sauce takes a fancy turn with black truffle and roasted
mushrooms, all topped with Parmesan cheese and house-made toasted
breadcrumbs.
- Buffalo Chicken Mac: This spicy dish starts
with Noodles’ Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, then layers on Parmesan
chicken, Frank’s RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce and a sprinkling of
Parmesan cheese and green onions.
- BBQ Pork Mac: Creamy, traditional mac gets a
smoky-sweet makeover with tender, slow-braised, naturally raised
pork, a topping of crispy jalapeños and a tangy barbecue
sauce.
Each of the dishes on the new World Famous Macs menu – like
every dish at Noodles & Company – is entirely customizable.
Guests are invited to add additional protein – such as naturally
raised pork, Parmesan-crusted chicken, meatballs or grilled chicken
breast – or a vegetable, to truly make the dish their own. In fact,
256 different, personalized combinations can be made with Wisconsin
Mac & Cheese® alone.
