sevfiv Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Last I saw (via FB) they were looking for workers so hopefully not too far off:Jus' Mac is looking for hard workers. If you know anyone who would be interested please have them forward resume/information to: employment@jusmac.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 After a long time with no apparent activity, they've recently painted the facade and hung a sign over the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 added them on facebook. seems like they are teasing people with the opening date, they have no clue. hopefully it'll be soon or they're going to lose any hype they built up.

SilverJK Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I saw the sign, looks like they are getting close. I need cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I saw the sign, looks like they are getting close. I need cheese. Just read the "Walmart" thread, you'll find a sizable amount there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I wasn't excited about this when the thread first popped up, but I have been on a cheese kick lately. So I'm with SilverJK, I need cheese too. And I want all kinds of different meats up in there too. Mac and cheese stuffed sausage. Brisket infused mac. Deep fried mac. Barbecue mac!!! Sushi mac...I could do some smoked salmon rolled with cheese and mac on the inside. Mac and cheese chimichanga!! DO IT!!! You are free to steal my ideas if I get free food! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sushi mac?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sushi mac?!Why not? A Philly roll already has the basic elements. It just needs a row of macaroni across the top. I got another one - cool down some mac n cheese so it's thicker, form/roll it into balls, batter, and deep fry. Maybe they could have this available fondue style. Everybody wins, even the TMC!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the kind of thing that sounds like it ought to be better than it really is.It's kind of a take-off on arancini, which are basically fried risotto balls.

sonic0boom Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Along the lines of sushi mac, I'm thinking a chirashi bowl with max n cheese rather than rice would be awesome. Maybe instead of putting sashimi on top, they could put seared beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbancowboy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I hope they have whole grain pasta in some if not all of their dishes. Eating all of that cheese, I think a little fiber would go a long way. Now days they even make that smart pasta that has the texture of white pasta but with the nutrition and fiber content of whole grain.

skwatra Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sushi Mac and Cheese from a random food blog. i'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sushi Mac and Cheese from a random food blog. i'll pass.That's no sushi, that's just someone wasting more time than they need to on chili-mac, which should take 8 minutes to make. No Kraft stuff. Although I'll eat it from time to time and it's not bad, I would want really good cheese if I'm eating out. No powder!Mac n philly cheese steak sandwich. Mac n cheese stuffed flounder.Appetizer - mac-n-cheese queso (con carne) with pork cracklins instead of chips to dip. I'm not sure why I'm getting into this today. Maybe I'm pregnant or something.

dbigtex56 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Seriously, is that CPA guy a plant? He couldn't have done a better job of drumming up sympathy and support. Every time I go to Spec's Warehouse the cheese section holds me spellbound. Jus' Mac has me looking forward to an experienced and knowledgeable introduction to some of the more unfamiliar varieties.

crunchtastic Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 They do this at Reef, though they do it as a Borg-style cube. It's the kind of thing that sounds like it ought to be better than it really is. It's kind of a take-off on arancini, which are basically fried risotto balls. Arancini are not fried risotto balls! Risotto is from the north. So far north it's practically Switzerland. Sorry--I am duty bound to defend Sicilian food. You want rice balls, you come see us down South. Haven't had the Reef dish; it does sound borg-ish for a fish restaurant. I like 20th St Dad's mac and cracklins idea, a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) The Reef dish looks amazing but the taste is dull, and just not that good.I had a lobster mac and cheese at Kata Robata. Now that was incredible! It features parmesan and panko bread crumbs. Edited September 1, 2010 by kylejack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I had a lobster mac and cheese at Kata Robata. Now that was incredible! It features parmesan and panko bread crumbs....and miso (I think). The dish is very tasty.(BTW, try making a white miso compound butter and use it to top your next steak. Outstanding.)

kylejack Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Somebody was complaining about a 49 minute wait on opening night, but hey, that's the way soft opens go. Have to expect that. I'm going to wait a few weeks and let them get their skills developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic0boom Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 There are a couple generally positive reviews on Yelp, but, yeah, waiting a couple weeks for them to come together would be your best bet if you are on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Went there with my son this afternoon. I had the Pit Master he had the Hammie. Both were good. Ingredients seem to be top quality. We had our food in less than 5 minutes. We'll be going back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) no...this isnt your Kraft Mac and Cheese Just noticed and read this entire thread for the first time. I look forward to trying this place out. One note though.... Kraft Mac and Cheese rocks. Not that I've been to too many restaurants that offer Mac'n'Cheese - the occasional Lubys or BBQ joint... but I've never been to one that has Mac'n cheese even half as edible as your average Kraft from a box. They are always too goopy, chunky, overly cheesy... Maybe I'm in the minority thinking Kraft is at the top of the macaroni totem poll. Still.. Look forward to trying this place out once they get settled. Edited October 11, 2010 by Highway6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not top notch cuisine from a cheese or pasta standpoint. But hey, we still eat it. Especially when you toss a can of chili in there. Still haven't gotten there...need to soon.
