Mac And Cheese News: UConn Student Throws Tantrum Ordering Bacon And Jalapeno At Dining Hall, Goes Viral – And Gets Expelled

By Victoria Guerra   –

In the oddest Mac and Cheese news in recent times, Luke Gatti, from the University of Connecticut, became infamous earlier this week when a video of him in the school’s dining hall went viral, as the student demanded in expletive-filled words to be served a plate of bacon and jalapeno Mac and Cheese.

After going viral on YouTube in a video that reached over 2.7 million views (the original clip has since been taken out over a copyright claim, although someone else uploaded the content later on), the latest Mac and Cheese news on this case reveals that Gatti may have gotten expelled from the university.

According to The Daily Mail, this Mac and Cheese news comes from Twitter, after a few residents from UConn spotted the now infamous Gatti leaving campus, with someone taking a snap of the bacon and jalapeno lover packing up his things inside the trunk of a car.

This Mac and Cheese news might not be a happy ending for Gatti, but the Internet is certainly glad he won’t be able to yell at diner workers anymore.

In other related Mac and Cheese news in Gatti’s case, The New York Post reports that since the scene went viral, local UConn-owned pub Blue Oak Tavern is now honoring the viral video by naming a new macaroni and cheese dish, just the way Gatti likes it (white cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, diced jalapenos and panko bread crumb toppings), calling it “Luke’s Mac N Cheese” and describing the dish as “worth getting arrested for.”

As WTSP reports, the original clip went like this: Gatti, who was up until a few days ago a freshman at UConn, started yelling at a manager at the university’s student union in Storrs last Sunday night after he was refused service because, surprise, he was carrying an open alcohol container inside the premises.

Later on, things got physical, prompting police to reach the scene.
