There are some parts of the country where sugar on spaghetti is definitely a thing, but adding sugar to mac and cheese was a step too far for a lot of people. Regardless of her questionable decision-making when it comes to America’s favorite side-dish, it’ll be great to see how Jackson does in the Windy City after starting her career with the Los Angeles Sparks.
