I Don't Eat, I Devour

Best known for its pig's head macaroni, ACME serves comfort food, amped up ten times. A meal at ACME is not fine dining, but it's certainly no casual eatery either - the dishes are designed to be shared, the serving size is very small; so between two people the recommended order is 3 starter-sized plates and 3 pastas. The last time we visited ACME, we went for a very light meal; so this time, we went all out for their 7-course "crush me" menu, plus a dessert.
