"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
10 cups elbow macaroni
1 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt

16 cups milk
4 pounds shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup butter, melted
4 sleeves buttery round crackers, crushed
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the macaroni, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and stir in Cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted. Add the macaroni and stir to coat. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix the 1/4 remaining cup melted butter and crushed crackers together in a bowl; scatter the cracker mixture evenly over the macaroni mixture.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 45 minutes.

Personal Notes:
The recipe calls for crushed crackers, but veritably any crumbs will do; panko, old bread crumbs, heck even crushed doritos.
