Best Local Mac 'n' Cheese
A personal tale of woe (it has a happy ending, so keep reading): At the tender age of 20, I married a woman with two young daughters. For the first year or so of this doomed union, our family ate little else but Kraft macaroni and cheese. Why? The boxes cost around 18 cents apiece at the time. A few years later we divorced, and I vowed I'd never eat mac 'n' cheese again--even though I liked it. Through all the years of raising my daughters, I kept that promise . . . until one day last fall. I had heard good things about the craft beers at Sonoma's Siena Red Brewery and Bistro, so I decided to pay a visit. It was a cool, breezy day, so I figured I'd have something warm and hearty along with the brew. I picked up the menu, and the words "Macaroni & Cheese" jumped out at me. "No," I thought to myself. Then I read the description of the dish: made with sharp Sonoma cheddar and topped with fresh breadcrumbs. "Hmm," I thought. "Why not? This isn't like Kraft mac 'n' cheese." So I ordered it, along with a glass of Siena Red Ale. And I was right: This was no ordinary mac 'n' cheese; it was rich, creamy and delicious. Then a pang of guilt set in. Had I broken that promise I'd made to myself way back when? It took me only a split second to come up with the answer: "Who cares?" 529 First St. W., Sonoma. 938-1313.--B.J.

Can't tell you about burgers, but I can tell you about Burritos. Raffas on East Cotati in Cotati is the BEST! Home of the 2 pound carne asada burrito. Pure authentic Mexican food. We have made the 70 mile trek in traffic from the peninsula just for the Raffas special.

I know you said Sonoma county, but if you don't mind a little driving, try Taylot's Refresher in St. Helena. They are so good. And they've even been profiled in Bon Appetit and on the Food Network.

One of the best "outside" the bun burgers can be found at John Barleycorn's Bar and Grille on Yulupa by Long's Drugs.
