Mac Madness: Best Mac in the Mac 

...And the winner is!

After two weeks of bracket-style voting by the public, K-Block’s Fire Pit BBQ has been announced as the winner of the second annual Mac Madness: Best Mac in the Mac contest. The initiative sought to highlight housemade macaroni and cheese at locally owned and operated restaurants. Sixteen establishments went head-to-head in the competition, with K-Block’s coming out on top.
 

K-Block’s Fire Pit BBQ is located at 66880 Van Dyke in Washington Township. The restaurant promotes itself as serving the best barbeque in Michigan, with time tested family recipes and proven techniques which deliver a variety of meats and sides to customers. Brian Knoblock is its pitmaster and owner. His winning dish, called Piggy Mac, features pulled pork, with a small costing $8 and a large at $12.
