HOW Mac Dynamite began…
Mac Dynamite was born out of Chef Eric's desire to bring delicious, hand-crafted food to local neighborhood barbecues instead of the traditional six-pack and bag of chips. He chose a comfort food classic that most people love, MAC & CHEESE!
The Recipe! Chef Eric began by using his roommates as guinea pigs to create a unique and tantalizing recipe of his own. He took his first batch to a monthly barbecue/dance party in Humboldt Park called "Sunday Brunchlox." The mac was immediately a bonafide hit, soon to follow with his new nickname "Mac Dynamite!" For the next three years, he continued to make his now-famous mac and cheese for each monthly party. When Eric walked in, people cheered and lined up with their forks and plates!
After winning multiple awards at local competitions throughout Chicago, Eric teamed up with Jeffrey and Virginia. Both local BBQ hosts and fans of Eric's "Mac Dynamite" recipe. Jeffrey, a seasoned five-star hospitality veteran, Virginia, a pastry chef, and Eric unanimously decided to take Mac Dynamite to the next level! From there, they set out on a mission to give people the mac and cheese they deserve!
Mac Dynamite is currently a mobile food vendor and has been featured at many events, breweries, and competitions around Chicago, Milwaukee, & New York.
We're Looking forward to having a mac party with you soon!
