Before I came to Kentucky, I lived in Pennsylvania and worked as management in a family style restaurant. Every friday we served fried haddock, macaroni and cheese and stewed tomatoes. The head cook (and my sweet friend Cyn) would bread countless haddock pieces to fry for that day. She’d also make huge pans of homemade macaroni and cheese and stewed tomatoes to feed the hundreds of people she knew would be piling into the restaurant that day. We had so many people that wanted just the mac and cheese and stewed tomatoes that we decided to sell it by itself on a plate without the fried haddock.
