No, the part about Thomas Jefferson is accurate, but his chef thought it was a take on French cuisine. Turns out it’s descended from English casseroles.
Thomas Jefferson was obsessed with Macaroni, and created the dish that modern day mac and cheese is based on. He served it at a ton of White House dinners. He also was the person responsible for shipping macaroni extruding machines from Italy to the US while he was a diplomat over there.
Wait. Italians claim Mac and cheese?
I always thought it was an American thing. Because Americans love pouring cheese over everything.

The chef was also his half-brother in-law, and the brother of Tommy’s teenage mistress

i think it originally comes from Scotland.
I think pasta is the victim here which still doesn’t really track perfectly but it’s a start lol
Pasta comes from China. Fuck what Italy thinks about it.
I’m well aware but its at least closer than mac n cheese
