Earlier in history, macaroni and cheese became a popular dish to serve. It remained a favorite meal mainly in the South.  However, the no-frills dish, which would become America’s family dinner favorite was popularized and promoted as a boxed variety by Kraft in 1937 and became available in local markets as an easy, nutritious, and economical dish. The Depression and two World Wars stimulated macaroni and cheese as a budget-friendly and wholesome dinner dish to feed entire families. Making its way into children’s diets, it filled school lunch trays and still today remains an ultimate comfort food in the United States for dinners and social celebrations.

Jefferson then brought his chef James Hemings, an enslaved 19-year-old accomplished chef, to be trained among the Parisian elite, As the chef de cuisine at Jefferson’s home in Paris, Hemings supervised white servants
Back in the United States, Thomas Jefferson purchased 80 pounds of Parmesan cheese and 60 pounds of Naples-based macaroni, so the pasta dish could be created in Virginia.
