BoxMac

- Season 3

(2016)

On the final week of expiring macs, Frankie and Junt kinda give up and review three boring random store deluxes - Big Lots' Fresh Finds, Key Foods, and Best Yet.

Junt and Frankie return to Cracker Barrel for the other varieties - Sharp Cheddar and Bacon and White Cheddar. They thought they understood the difference between the country store and the Kraft brand. They were wrong.

Nina joins the guys as they try Horizon Organics mild cheddar, shells and white cheddar, and deluxe. They learn the difference between USDA and Quality Insurance International, mock the upbeat branding, and use stolen butter.

Junt and Frankie begrudgingly revisit Annie's to try their deluxe brands - Four Cheese, Aged Real Cheddar, and Gluten Free varieties.

Fans sent Frankie and Jon a bounty of Kroger and Meijer macs, so they decide to put them had to head. In this show, it's the Thick and Creamy and Three Cheese varieties.

Since we tried the Rapid Mac, we've always wondered, is it just a microwavable plastic bowl with a fill line? We put that to the test, while also trying some cheese powders we were sent, as well as a standalone Velveeta cheese pouch.

Junt buys 4 frozen macs on a very hot day. 3 of them are great. 1 of them dethrones Loretta as the worst mac ever.

Junt brings out four bargain macs - Michelina's, Stouffer's white cheddar and Parmesan and garlic, and banquet. He's also keeping himself cool with a big bottle of Fresca, with gassy results.

After a year of making fun of protein, Frankie and Junt finally do a protein show. Muscle Mac, Banza Chickpea mac, and Horizon Protein.

Junt and Frankie have ran out of macs and BoxMac has disbanded. Junt has gone missing. A young couple arrive in Noodleton with a lead on his whereabouts, but what they find is more horrifying than they could have guessed.

Nina joins to look at more vegan macs. Daiya Cheezy Mac, Annie's Shells and Creamy Sauce, and Road's End Organics Mac and Chreese.

Sometimes we get sent macs that aren't all that mac-like. The Giant Eagle Four Cheese Gnocchi, Modern Table Meals Lentil Rotini Homestyle Mac and Cheese, and Pacific Ready-to-Eat Pasta in Cheese Sauce are some such examples.

Junt loves to pour salt into his pot while cooking mac, but does it make any difference? What about mixing the cheese before dumping the pasta? Can he and Frankie even tell the different preps apart in this blind taste test?

The first of our two part 2016 Holiday Specials. Junt, Frankie, Nina, Zach, and Angry Kirby convene to decorate, shop at Macy's and Pier 1 Imports, make sugar cookies, and try Mac and Cheesus.

In part 2, Frankie tries to make a roast to disastrous effect, the guys make wreaths, EJ makes mac with his pressure cooker, and Junt tries another stab at his home style recipe.

Sometimes, we receive macs in the mail that are just boring, and we have to do them eventually. So we get around to doing these three boring deluxe macs - Publix, Valu Time, and Giant Eagle.

Looking through the hall of macs, Junt and Frankie find even more boring macs - Parade, Publix, Always Save, and Giant Eagle. None impress.

The time, as Ricky Ricardo once said, has come. The Festival of Spirals is here, and Frankie and Junt kick it off with Meijer, Kroger, and H.E.B. varieties.

In part two of the Festival of Spirals, Frankie and Junt seek to place a moratorium on the festival of spirals when they review Roundy's, Tops, and Signature Kitchens.

We take another stab at the all-in-one macs and try three Bear Creeks. We also rush through a Nature Box mac and try to boil a frozen mac from Blount's.

Zach joins to help sort out the instructions in an interesting Japanese mac. Frankie independently makes a box of Best Yet spirals, and the guys finally try the sous vide Blount's mac.

After last week's failed attempt, the guys return with renewed spirits and the required ingredients to cook the Japanese Gratin Mac. Also they throw in Wal-Mart's new Great Value Three Cheese to pad out the show a little.

The guys take a stab at 4 Sprouts Farmer's Market macs - standard, Organic Shells and Cheese, Regular Shells and Cheese, and Shells with Alfredo. They also discuss cinnamon cereals at great length.

Friend of the show and food blogger Ashley Blom brings the guys an H.E.B. Deluxe. In addition, they get around to trying the Thick and Creamy and White Cheddar H.E.B. varieties, as well as the Hill Country Fare Dino Shapes.

Ashley Blom from food blog "Forking Up" guest stars in this two-parter in which she cooks us her homemade gnocchi and cheese, containing bacon, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a delicious cheese sauce.
