The Mac Shack n More

09/28/2025

Thank you, Spa City! 💛🧀
What an absolutely incredible weekend at the Spa City Food Truck Festival! To have sold out both nights — over 100 pounds of mac & cheese 🤯 — was unreal.

Seeing so many of my Shack Fam stop by, grab a bite, and chat about the summer ahead truly made it special. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s coming and to welcome even more folks into the Shack family. 💛✨

Here’s to big flavors, great people, and an unforgettable summer ahead — let’s keep this Shack train rolling! 🚚🔥🧀

Where’s the Mac Daddy?!

Shack Fam… what a summer it’s been 🤯

This season threw me some curveballs I never expected. Many of you know my back history hasn’t been the smoothest ride. At just 29, I’ve already undergone two surgeries on the same discs you see in this MRI. Early this summer, I injured it again… and for two months, I was completely out of the game—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Every doctor and surgeon I visited told me the same thing: “Fuse your L4-L5 together.”

In that moment, I had two choices…
💥 Take the “easy” route—have surgery, end the pain, and hope for the best.
💥 Or… dig DEEP, put all I have into God’s hands, and commit to rebuilding my body through discipline, prayer, and perseverance.

I chose the fight.

Through 4 hours a day of strength training, meditation, yoga, and better nutrition, I’m slowly finding myself again. I’m not at 100% yet, but I’m stronger than I was when this started. The smallest, most consistent steps truly make the biggest difference.

So what does this mean for the Mac Shack?!
It means the Mac Daddy WILL be back! 🙌

My absolute goal is to continue serving this amazing Shack Fam—side by side with the best crew Hot Springs Marina

This wasn’t the summer I planned for… but I know God’s plans are bigger than mine. And this was part of the journey.

I may not be back this summer, but get ready—next year The Shack will return better than ever!

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support. The future is bright, and I can’t wait to see y’all again 💛

💛 Good morning, Shack Fam 💛

I just wanted to give everyone an update. I’m trying my best to push through this, but after talking with my doctor, I’ve made the tough decision to stay closed this weekend.

Right now, I’m waiting to see a neurosurgeon to figure out the next steps. I’m also exploring stem cell therapy to hopefully speed up my recovery and finally get some relief.

At this moment, I still haven’t found anything that helps me move around normally. I’m hoping this week brings more answers and a clearer picture of what’s ahead.

This has been one of the hardest challenges I’ve ever faced, but your support and kind words keep me going. The love you’ve all shown means more to me than you’ll ever know.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💛
Love -MacDaddy💛

💛 A Message to My Shack Fam 💛
Hey Shack Fam — I just wanted to take a moment and be real with y’all.

Many of you don’t know this, but I’ve already had two back surgeries in the past… and now, I’m facing yet another battle with intense pain that’s making it hard to even walk some days.

But here’s the thing — we’re not gonna stop.
This truck, this dream, YOU — the Shack Fam — give me purpose and fuel me every day, even when my body says “nope.”

I’ve got a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, and depending on how that goes, I’m going to try my hardest to open this weekend — Friday through Sunday. No promises, just heart. And I promise you this: if I can be there, I WILL be there.

Running The Mac Shack isn’t just a job — it’s my passion, my purpose.
So thank you for showing me love and patience during the hard weeks. Every message, every share, every visit — it matters more than you know.
Thanks Shack Fam
💛MacDaddy💛

MacDaddy is sicker than a fish outta water 😞🤦🏻‍♂️
Y’all know I strive to bring the best customer experience and serve top-notch, cheesy goodness every time 💛 But since MacDaddy’s the one behind the grill, we’ll be closed this weekend to rest and recover.

Appreciate all the love and support—can’t wait to be back and better next week! 🙌🧀
