The deal
Build-your-own mac
A bowl with a view

Roni's Mac Bar — the build-your-own bowl of elbow macaroni and cheese — has set up shop inside Kern's Food Hall on the old bakery campus. We've heard from more than one neighbor that the doors are open and the cheese is flowing.

We're getting the full scoop (and, in the name of journalism, a full bowl) and we'll report back. If you beat us to it, you know where to send your review — we're all ears.
