I tried their Mac last time around, and I loved it, but that was a year or more ago, and I hadn&#8217;t had an opportunity to try it since. With the upcoming competition in mind, I decided to take in lunch at Beechwood and sample their Mac and Cheese first-hand.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never been to Beechwood Golf Course or its restaurant before, and I was pleasantly surprised at the casual atmosphere of the space since it also serves as part of the clubhouse. On Fridays, the restaurant is open to the public for lunch. I decided to try the Chicken, Bacon and Shank wrap as the last portion of the title intrigued me, and of course I had a small bowl of the Mac and Cheese.<a href=\"https:\/\/fatguyapproved-vgfvcengsr.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium_large wp-image-268\" src=\"https:\/\/fatguyapproved-vgfvcengsr.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fatguyapproved.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fatguyapproved.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fatguyapproved.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fatguyapproved.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_20180216_132745138-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The macaroni itself was corkscrew pasta with ridges to better gather its companion ingredient, the cheese.\u00a0 The cheese sauce tasted to me like a good four-cheese blend with the emphasis being on Cheddar. Since you are able to customize your mac, I opted to add bacon. The pasta was done just right, the cheese sauce was flavorful and smooth with just a hint of texture, and the bacon was somehow still crisp! Delicious!<\/p>\n<p>The wrap was equally tasty. The chicken portion was comprised of two good sized, breaded chicken fillets, along with\u00a0 bacon, lettuce,\u00a0 and tomatoes. The &#8220;shank&#8221; portion of the name had to do with the sauce.
