BoxMac

- Season 6

(2019)

It's time to grin and bear some cauliflower Kraft macs (white cheddar and original), and finally try the Italpastas.

It's a full lineup of IGA macs. In addition, Frankie and Jon talk about everything from Fuller House to childhood urban legends to their town's school system politics.

There's mac and cheese drama in Australia. Bega was making Kraft mac, but Heinz and Mondelez international merged and took it back. How do they compare? Also, we have a UK Kraft deluxe.

We try the full Everyday Essentials line. We also laugh at a former governor who has a Riff Raff Rocky Horror Hairdo.

YA. It's time to try some German macaroni and cheese. Some Knorr Huettenschmaus Cheese Spaetzle and Emmentaler Makkaroni, as well as Maggi's Wirtshaus Makkaroni Käse.

It's the 2nd Annual Mac and Cheese Showdown on Goat Island in Newport, RI. Hosted by Gurney's, Frankie, Junt, Nina, and Zach infiltrate the far too crowded event to try macs from all of Rhode Island's finest.

Rather than doing another mix-in cookout, we try one of the founding father's famous recipes for colonial times macaroni and cheese.

Sodium citrate is a preservative and binder used to smooth out cheese sauces. Today, Junt tries it out on a recipe he calls his "week night" mac.

We try a line of organic macs called "Good Citizens" and discuss Chernobyl.

We get to some Canadian macs that were long overdue - Compliments brand, including extra creamy, deluxe white cheddar, and standard.

Nina returns to try more vegan macs with us, including a "heat and eat" from Upton's and Annie's new dairy free "cheddar flavor" product. We also try Annie's organic peace shapes pasta and their "yummier than ever" reformulation.

Junt and Frankie established their love for the Smoked Gouda Artisan Crafted Walmart brands, but now they try Loaded Bacon Cheddar, Garlic and Herb, and White Cheddar and Black Pepper.

Junt embarks on an ominous road trip with Matt and Frankie to procure a massive Pfaltzgraff collection - his favorite vintage dishware. But along the way, tragedy strikes. Also, Junt makes an Apple Mac and the guys visit Halloween City.

It's Freaky Friday in the BoxMac kitchen - Junt edits the show and provides the banter while Frankie cooks. The macs include a no name brand in a yellow box, Great Value Extra Creamy, KD Organic Original, and KD White Cheddar spirals.

To kick start the holiday, Red Cow goes to "A Christmas to Remember" in Newport, RI, and then a fan sends us an amazing BoxMac quilt. EJ makes mead, and then Angry Kirby joins to try some Christmas Pastabilities macs.

It's a Christmas bonanza when Matt makes an advent calendar filled with Red Cow inspired ornaments, and Jon sets the table with Pfaltzgraff in prep for an...eggnog mac?

Frankie and Junt try Aldi's Simply Nature line of organic macaroni and cheeses, including their shells and white cheddar and deluxe brands. Frankie talks about his experience at Great Wolf Lodge.

We experiment with the worst device ever - the "Pasta Express," meant to cook pasta quickly in a tube. Not to be confused with the Pastafina.

EJ brings us a Costco refrigerated prepared mac and cheese, Jon has bought the frozen food service Kraft, and we try the Kraft white bean "nutritious" mac.

Nina joins to try the Pastabilities Vegan mac and cheese (ocean shapes!) and a homemade vegan pasta dish by Junt. We also try the Live Gluten Free Deluxe.

With macs rapidly expiring, Junt and Frankie try Kraft Deluxe Broccoli and Cheddar, Kraft Deluxe Sharp Cheddar, MacTavish's from the UK, and Better Valu.

In a very special COVID-19 presentation, Frankie remotes into the BoxMac kitchen from his home while Junt gets to enjoy 3 pots of Our Family to himself.

BoxMac returns to try five of Target's Simply Balanced macs. Lots of Home Improvement and Louie Anderson discussion therein.

Junt takes it slow with just one mac today - Annie's One Pot Cheesy Mac with Hidden Vegetables. This mac requires some hot dogs, which gives away to much conversation about salads and old food service jobs.

While trying another round of Australian Kraft macaroni and cheeses (including smoky bacon, chives, and three cheese), Frankie remembers what it was like to fly to Sydney.

In a very sleepy episode of BoxMac, the guys try three miscellaneous macs from the archives - Paulie's Pasta, Krasdale, and Love Some.
