Beecher’s is a cheese shop at 100 Pike Place in Seattle, across the street from the covered market. It’s an aromatic storefront that makes and sells everything from fresh curds to flavored varieties that include No Woman (jerk spices and brown sugar) and Marco Polo (dotted with green and black peppercorns). I love eating on the stroll around the market, and Beecher’s mac & cheese, made with penne pasta and billed as the “world’s best,” is available in small containers with plastic forks for stand-up enjoyment. It’s mighty good, but is it the world’s best? I would love to do a side-by-side comparison with some of these contenders, going clockwise from the upper left: Rocky and Carlo's, Hell's Kitchen, Mary Mac's Tea Room, Zingerman's Roadhouse and Lynn's Paradise Cafe.
