Oprah Winfrey declared Delilah's mac'n'cheese the best in America, 2003.

Delilah operates in the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.
http://www.readingterminalmarket.org/merchants/view/54

She uses something like five different cheeses.

What I'll never understand is how eggs come into the mac'n'cheese
picture!?!

I've passed her restaurant many times but have never tried her version.

There are just too many versions of mac'n'cheese that I can't see how Oprah
Winfrey can outright declare Delilah's "the best in America." Are we
talking mac'n'cheese payola???

According to Richard Brautigan, Superman tells people to, "Be kind to
your kitten."

I have not heard of a DC Comic Kraft Mac & Cheese venture.

Anyone else here like Brautigan? Those of you who've never heard of
him should look at your library for a book called, "So the Wind Won't
Blow It All Away." His other books are good too. Comedy and tragedy
at its finest. IMO, of course.
Some of his books are available in compilations. I especially
recommend them to folks who live outside the USA and Canada.

"In Watermelon Sugar" was pure genius, even at a time
when post-apocalyptic fiction was pretty common.

Oddly enough, I have met two persons with Ph.D.'s in
English, both American, who never heard of him.
IIRC one was even a professor.

It only had a hint of post-Apocalyptic, with its Forgotten Works.
There was none of the scary realism. It was, perhaps, a parody of
those other books.

Astounding, but believable. Brautigan was not highbrow lit. I
imagine that nearly all of them know of Vonnegut, IMO, an inferior
writer who was much more successful, but much less succinct in getting
across feelings, in spite of Brautigan's repetition of words and
phrases. Have you ever read "So the Wind..."?

Vonnegut wasn't much into feelings, so you might be right about that
aspect. I won't go into who's the inferior writer since that's dangerous
AND pointless territory and anyway, I really do know who's the better
writer. :-)

I read "Trout Fishing in America" and "The Abortion" about a hundred
years ago. He sure did click with me, and my wife too. We only recently
found out that he's been dead for decades. I'll have to pick up one of
his books when I get the chance.

At first glance I thought the word was Bakugan. You have a seven year
old boy, so you know what I'm talking about.

He may have been cutting edge, but he wasn't well known - even here in
the Bay Area.

I suppose. I may live in some sort of cultural bubble.

The only thing Brautigan and Vonnegut had in common was that they lived
during the same time.

Lots of writers during the 60/70s and yet those two seem to be always
mentioned together. Why is that?

Willard and His Bowling Trophies:

Other than "An Unfortunate Woman," published posthumously, all of it
is great, but "So the Wind..." is a masterpiece.

Tragedy and comedy linked by irony?

Frankly, I never knew that anyone other than I made the connection
between the two, but I'm not surprised. It's like rediscovering the
wheel I guess.

This collection is a great bargain:

Why do you think? Hugh Prather had the same simplistic, minimalistic
approach to content (deconstructed content structure) but he is not
mentioned with either. Perhaps because both men enjoyed a kind of cult
following, and writers rarely do. It would take someone with the limited
intellect of Bobo to actually prefer Brautigan to Vonnegut because
"Brautigan is a better writer." I am still laughing about that. Morons are
not so bad when they give you a laugh.
