And the winner of Time Out New York’s Mac n Cheese Smackdown is…

Houston Hall!Béchamel, gruyere, bacon, and even Fritos—no ingredient was left behind in the race to win the coveted title of Best Mac N Cheese. At our cheesy smackdown on Saturday, noodle after gooey noodle was washed down by Houston Hall’s refreshing draught beers as guests pondered their decision. With seven top-notch vendors to sample—including the AinsworthAtwood Kitchen & Bar Room and Hill Country Barbecue Market—the chefs had their work cut out for them.

In the end, Houston Hall’s Skillet Baked Cheddar Bacon Mac and Cheese—which is a mouthful, literally— took the cake (or, er, the macaroni). Their recipe featured Nueskes smoked bacon and aged New York cheddar, a combo that led to a well-deserved victory.

Meatball & Beer Chowdown presented by Time Out New York

the Ainsworth!

After seven hours of balls-and-brews feasting this Sunday, Time Out New York readers crowned their favorite meaty creation: executive chef Stephen Yen’s Hanger Burger Meatball built with bulgogi marinade, pickled jalapeños and ribbons of parmesan cheese. The chef was on site all day serving the meatballs, which won the hearts of the most eaters over the course of three sessions.

Hundreds of guests packed Houston Hall for the first-ever extravaganza, soaking up brews from Greenpoint Beer Works with balls rolled out by contenders like Atwood Kitchen & Bar RoomBrother Jimmy’s BBQ and Houston Hall, who all fought valiantly in the gut-sticking showdown. But after all the grills were cooled and all the beer guzzled, there could only be one winner.

Houston Hall is 8,000 square feet of pure pint-flowing fun.

Half of the invited city workers weren’t able to make a special performance by Kelly Rowland honoring the City of New York Department of Sanitation on Friday because of the snow.

Inside an old garage, Houston Hall fills its 8,000 square foot space pretty frequently during the week.
