Local 'Modern Mac and Cheese' Restaurant Opens Tuesday

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI — Grate Modern Mac and Cheese, a fast-casual modern mac and cheese restaurant is set to open its doors officially on Tuesday, August 29 in the Whitestone Station development in Menomonee Falls. According to company officials, Grate is the first restaurant of its kind in southeastern Wisconsin.

The 2,500-square-foot restaurant features 10 to 12 gourmet mac and cheese entrees, such as “Buffalo Chicken,” ”Chicken Bacon Jalapeno Ranch” and “Green Chile Pepperjack.” All entrees are crafted from recipes that were developed in-house using Wisconsin milk, butter and cheese, a detail very important to the Grate creators.

The restaurant group is currently partnered with several Wisconsin companies to provide the staple ingredients on its menu, including: Renard’s Cheese for cheese, Sassy Cow Creamery for milk and heavy cream, Richland Hills Farms for apples, Klement’s for brats and hot dogs, Patrick Cudahy for bacon, Kemps for kids milk cartons, yogurt and sour cream, and Pine River for butter and cream cheese.

The new restaurant employs about 35 people and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
