The first thing I had to eat in my order was the Mac cheese. The ingredients tasted old and bad. I could not eat it so I threw it away. Little bit of a waste of money. Surprised coming from this chef

The pastry on top was too big and the part below was too dry and we could hardly find the veggies just shredded chicken.
