‘The largest macaroni and cheese weighed 1,119.91 kg (2,469 lbs) and was made by Cabot Creamery Cooperative and Chef John Folse & Company (both USA) in Fulton Square in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on 23 September 2010. The cast-iron kettle that the dish was cooked in weighed 862.73 kg (1,902 lbs), which was not counted towards the final weight of the dish. The recipe called for 260.81 kg (575 lbs) of cooked macaroni, 129.72 kg (286 lbs) of mixed cheese, 25.4 kg (56 lbs) of butter, 11.79 kg (26 lbs) of flour, 498.95 kg (1,100 lbs) of milk, and 27.66 kg (61 lbs) of dry seasoning blend. Amanda Mochan adjudicated.’ (Source)

‘The mac and cheese was sold for $5 and served in colorfully painted ceramic bowls made by The Magnolia School, a nonprofit that serves adults with intellectual or other developmental disabilities. The funds were donated to the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity and any leftovers were given to Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans.’ (Source)
