Homeroom
Welcome to Homeroom: The Mecca of Mac & Cheese
A Take from Bill Maher
Let’s talk about Homeroom, folks. This place is the kind of joint where the phrase “Home to all. Room for all” isn’t just some marketing slogan, it’s a damn manifesto! If you’ve ever had a yearning for that gooey, cheesy goodness that makes you question how you ever lived without it, well, grab your forks and get ready. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a pilgrimage for cheese lovers everywhere.
Ambiance: A Cozy Paradise
Picture this—the moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve been enveloped in a warm, cheesy hug. The decor somehow strikes the perfect balance between hip and nostalgic—like your college dorm room after a particularly good semester, only less grimy and with way more mac and cheese. And let me tell you, the dog-friendly policy? Brilliant! It’s a pet-friendly haven—like a vegan café but without the judgment, and with plenty of tails wagging instead of veggies.
Signature Dishes That Make You Dream
Now, let’s talk about the main event: the food. Just when you thought mac and cheese couldn’t get any better, they go and reinvent it. You’ve got your classics, but why not try the Crab Mac? It’s like Julia Child colliding with your taste buds on a fabulous culinary vacation. But if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, give the Mac The Goat a whirl. Sure, it’s a risk, but then again, life is just one big pot of mac and cheese— a little risky, a little cheesy, and a lot delicious.
Service with a Side of Love
The service here feels like talking to your best friend’s mom—genuine and always with a sprinkle of love. They make everything fresh, ensuring each bowl is crafted with care. This isn’t just cooking; this is a love affair between you and your meal, and honestly, who wouldn’t want that? The rewards program is just the cherry on top of this cheesy sundae. The only thing missing here is Michael Moore directing a documentary on the spiritual connection we all have with cheese.
So, What’s the Verdict?
If you’re in Oakland and chasing that mac and cheese dragon, you need to pull your head out of the sand and get yourself to Homeroom. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you, and your heart will be a little happier. Plus, the founder Erin Wade—an actual Mac and Cheese Millionaire—has a history that reads like an entrepreneurial superhero’s origin story. She’s literally turning macaroni into gold, which is either a modern fairy tale or the best story I’ve heard since some jerk in high school told me about how he dated a girl who graduated a year early.
And if you’re in the mood for another dining adventure, I also recommend checking out Hillside Market. Because if you’re gonna eat, might as well make it memorable, right?
