- Comments: "Every time I visit my sister in Los Angeles, we make a point of having dinner at Mimosa, a popular French bistro," writes Frances Candler Brown of Birmingham, Alabama. "I like to think I"m an adventurous diner, but my order there has become only too predictable: a glass of wine, a salad and the restaurant"s delectable version of macaroni and cheese."
- This French take on macaroni and cheese has a nice assertive flavor.
