Marc Lamont Hill delivers a hot take sure to divide dinner tables this Thanksgiving. Hill declares mac and cheese the most overrated dish in Black food history—and food history overall—calling it nothing more than “dried-up noodles and cheese in a pan.”
From grandmas’ recipes to gourmet versions, Hill holds no punches as he critiques the dish’s place on holiday menus and calls for a shift in focus to more deserving stars like sweet potato pie, peach cobbler, and homemade cornbread. This fiery critique challenges tradition and culinary norms, sparking a conversation about what truly deserves a seat at the Thanksgiving table.

Bro you & Drake have the worst PR teams 😭 delete this
NO MARC. YOU 👏🏿 IS 👏🏿 WRONG 👏🏿 RESPECTFULLY
😑…no 🤌🏿
It’s disheartening that you would be this irresponsible with your platform. SMH. Unsubscribe.
😂😂😂
Marc is clearly a brilliant scholar. On THIS subject, he is entirely wrong. Mac and Cheese is SOOOO good, I still eat it even though I'm lactose intolerant. Give me the stomach ache if it's Mac.
Agree Marc and every year the Mac and cheese get more unhealthy
I love this take
I like mac n cheese. I haven't had Mac cheese for some years. This year I decided to add it back to the menu. I agree! There are so many other side dishes collard greens, string beans, yams and potatoes salad. 7 Flavor Pound Cake, Sweet Potatoe pie, Pecan pie and much more.. Thank you, Marc! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃
Facts!!!!
I support this! Thank you for liberating me Marc =) Hell yeah – let the pies be the star!
🔥
I’m glad SOMEBODY said it😂
This is facts
I wish I could back slap this statement.
Pasta salad or tuna salad over mac n cheese.
You're lying to us, or you're lying to yourself, Marc.
Maybe it's just you… 🤷🏽♀️
You are dead wrong. You must be eating the nasty white people Mac & Cheese.
this brother is a hater. got all that smarts and schalory in your head and you coming down hatin on mac n cheese which is the second best dish at the thanksgiving dinner apart from the ham.
At last, someone's bold enough to speak the truth about this mediocre wannabe dish.
Wrong! Try my recipe without butter: Cheddar, Milk, Macaroni, salt & pepper. That's it. No Butter, no gourmet stuff. Though you could bake it with some crumbs.
Lolllll dead wronnngggg
I always wondered what would be the starting point for the Second American Civil War.
Found it!
I am sorry but pasta and tuna salad being preferred over Mac n cheese? Yuck! I'd rather starve and when I was homeless and my dad made tuna salad, thats exactly what I did lol. I'll eat slipper for dinner
Marc continuing to choose hate of this day doesn't go unnoticed!😂 Mac & cheese is amazing
I think the election broke him….
Because I love this brother I won't give this video a thumbs down. But he gotta chill😅
Finally!! I I thought I was the only one. I don’t like Mac n Cheese. It’s super expensive to make too smh it’s not my thing at all. My whole life people questioned my blackness because I don’t like it. I feel seen lol
Marc this is up there with Drake suing. Unacceptable lmao!
