McDonald’s vs. mac and cheese

A pair of San Francisco Bay Area restaurateurs were all set to open their macaroni and cheese specialty restaurant with the name Little Mac when a phone conversation with legal counsel for McDonald’s derailed their plans.

Mac and chesse was one of Ronald Reagan’s favorite food. It is also one of mine. Particularly when the Mrs. is away for a few days. I use lots of variations like Tabasco, cloves, chopped onions and even sardines in chili sauce to spice it up.

I thought this was going to be a comparison of fat/calories in a kids meal at McDonalds vs. a meal with mac and cheese at home. I was wrong

I see Big Mac, Mac, Lil Mac (women's lingerie), Mac Daddy, Mac Rack, and so on. But I sure don't see where McDonald's Corporation has a trademark on the term "Mac"
