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.
Fun fact: Canadians actually eat 55% more boxes of Kraft dinner (mac & cheese) per capita than US. We love that shit for some reason (well, I know why actually it’s cause it’s delicious).
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
