Smokey Bones is going to start serving this in their restaurants. To learn more about their mission and nonprofit resort visit: With over 60 all-you-can-eat Macaroni and Cheese dishes.I’ve had more mac and cheese today than I would normally eat in one year. Their goal is to raise $46,000 through chef contest entry fees, guest entrance, vendor booth fees and event sponsorships to help fund wish-fulfilling vacations for children battling life-threatening illnesses. O-Town MacDown is the newest fundraiser for Give Kids The World Village, where more than 7,000 families visit each year. Since 1986, Give Kids The World has served more than 130,000 families. Give Kids The World Village is a 70-acre, non-profit resort in Central Florida that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. It was exciting to see all of my favorite local restaurants and chefs working under one roof to raise money for a good cause. Orlando’s first-ever O-town MacDown is a family-fun event presented by SeaWorld benefiting Give Kids the World.
