Millions of people across the USA cook macaroni and cheese.
But few do it like Rhonda Allen of Lake Oswego.
In fact, Allen is in the absolute elite when it comes to this ultimate comfort food because she is among the six finalists for the Tillamook Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Contest.
Tonight at Kell’s Restaurant in Portland, Allen will be cooking up her Tillamook Macaroni & Cheese Chile Relleno Pie and competing against other M&C wizards from Washington, New York, California, Michigan, and Arizona. The event gets under way at 6 p.m.
Allen has her own personal name for her creation: “The Macaroni and Cheese Epiphany.”
On the eve of triumph, Allen is stunned by her unexpected success, yet confident.
“There were thousands of entries nationwide,” Allen said. “Four weeks after I submitted the recipe it was tested by the Tillamook cooks. They called me and said, ‘We like it!’”
This the first time for Allen to enter a contest of any kind and certainly her first aspiration to greatness as a chef of macaroni and cheese.
