The staff of Dine & Cook had to make a pilgrimage to the Charlotte Motor Speedway for their annual auto show.
We didn't go for the cars however, we went for lunch. We just had to try out the Mac Daddy Dog-- a hot dog smothered in pimento macaroni and cheese, breaded and then deep fried.
The new AutoFair concession item is the creation of Levy Restaurants' Emily Williams and her staff.
"Everyone is trying to out-do each other with the wackiest fried food these days," said Williams. "We think we've put a great southern twist on regular fried mac and cheese with the addition of the pimento cheese.
"When you add the hot dog in there, four of the five major food groups are represented," joked Williams. "The Mac Daddy Dogs are an all-around fun, indulgent treat that we know our AutoFair fans will love to try."
