Making its return this year is the Mac & Eats Global Marketplace! The booth is one of a handful that had a planned delayed opening and it opened earlier today. Mac & Eats is located near Creations Shop. Here’s our Mac & Eats booth review from the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.

Not much to get excited about here. We were served a rather sad portion in comparison to our other two dishes.

Cowboy Macaroni & Cheese – $6.25

With smoked pork belly, brisket burnt ends, pickled peppers, onion straws, and barbecue aïoli (Emile’s Fromage Montage)

A rather delicious smoked pork belly lasts through the end of the dish if you’re lucky. The burnt ends, pickled peppers, and barbecue aioli really make this something worth stopping for. We really can’t find anything to fault here – even the price seems reasonable for the portion we received. 5 stars!

Chili-Cheese Macaroni & Cheese (NEW 2022) – $5.50

With sour cream and cheddar cheese (New) (Plant-based) (Emile’s Fromage Montage)

Another good dish here! Like any meat alternative, the real test is in how convincingly you can fool meat-eaters. As it turns out, this is a wonderful

Mac & Eats makes its return with a solid lineup of a relatively simple food. We didn’t dislike anything, but would highly encourage you to go for one of the two dishes with extras.
