“We’re very excited to introduce our delicious comfort food favorites to the Deer Park community,” said Jeff Stublar, owner of I Heart Mac & Cheese Deer Park. “We think this is a great opportunity to bring delicious food to the Deer Park and Pasadena area while giving the city and community a new spot to connect and make memories.”

Serving up a variety of health-conscious bases including quinoa, broccoli, cauliflower, gluten-free pasta, plant-based protein, and dairy-free alternatives, as well as an extensive array of traditional mac & cheese and sandwich options, South Florida-based I Heart Mac & Cheese is a popular concept rapidly expanding across the United States. The brand has earned a reputation for consistent, delicious food and is well-known for custom, build-your-own macaroni and cheese bowls and grilled cheese sandwiches. Guests select a pasta, bread, quinoa, broccoli, cauliflower, or tater tot base along with a choice of ten different proteins, eleven vegetables, and nine cheeses.

Gluten-free, vegan, and plant-based options are also available. Sesame ginger, mango habanero, buffalo, BBQ, and pesto are a few of the delicious dressings and sauces available to mix in or top off each creation.

The newest I Heart Mac & Cheese location in Deer Park features signature chef-driven combinations that can be made in sandwiches or stuffed in macaroni and cheese bowls like Baked Chicken Parmesan, Baked Meatball Parmesan, The Cuban, Pepperoni Pizza, and Lobster & White Truffle Mac, among others. Side dishes include Cheesy Broccoli and Tomato Soup; desserts include Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, Brownies, Marshmallow Treats, and Caramel Cookies. Extensive catering options will also be available to enhance any meeting or gathering.

“It’s always great seeing the expansion of the brand and bringing the classic childhood comfort food classics to new communities,” said Steve Giordanella, the CEO and Chairman of I Heart Mac & Cheese. “It’s wonderful watching new customers turn into longtime loyal members of the I Heart Mac & Cheese family. We’re confident in the success that our new location in the ‘Birthplace of Texas’ will have, and we’re excited to see the location establish itself as a terrific new part of the community.”
