Has the Buffalo Mac and Cheese changed? I recall that is used to have some spiciness and a sort of blue-cheezy flavor. Of late on ORD/ERW/ORD is has consistently been pretty generic mac with a neon orange cheeze sauce with a couple pieces of sliced chicken on one side. Not spicy or "Buffalo" in any sense of the term. I'd call it "Mac & Cheese with Chicken." I sort of recall that there used to be a sort of bready crunchy topping. That, if it existed, is also now gone.
Since I'm talking about this route. On three of my last four itins the dessert was a slice of some variety of cheesecake. On the fourth it was a pre-wrapped commercial brownie that was pretty bad. On that same flight my salad consisted of 4-5 baby spinach leaves and one mandarin orange slice rather than the full dish I usually get.
