An Abacus menu reads items like pan seared venison, maki rolls and lobster-scallion shooters so you'd think mac-n-cheese isn't exotic enough to make the cut. Oh no….Chef Rathbun can't make toast without winning some award so when he puts mac-n-cheese on his menu you know it's gonna be mad good--applewood smoked bacon makes it his own.

Who would expect macaroni to be in demand at this sophisticated steak house in Uptown? The tuna tartare, lobster and the prime filet certainly please the discriminating crowd but the three cheese mac and cheese is often the table spotlight.
