‘Everything Mac n’ Cheese on the Streets of Philadelphia!’
As a kid, remember mom making you mac n’ cheese for lunch. Over the years, this phenomenon has somewhat exploded into an actual meal for many. Fast forward and welcome the Mac Mart Cart.
Mac Mart Cart is a Philly food truck that was launched by Marti Lieberman in January 2013. Marti is a Drexel Alum with a Bachelors degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communications. Feeling unfulfilled, she wanted to bring something different to the City of Brotherly Love. She has admitted that this project has been one of her life’s greatest challenges but also one of the most rewarding experiences ever.
The Mac Mart Cart is all about Mac n’ Cheese. Becoming the first truck of its kind in the city, you will find a variety of macaroni and cheeses with your choice of assorted toppings and sides. You can even try the “Create Your Own” dish. Adding anything from Crispy Bacon, Pulled BBQ Chicken, Hot Dog Bites, Parmesan Crusted Chicken Bites, Fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan Panko Crumble, Diced Tomatoes, Homemade Italian Croutons, Caramelized Onions, Sun-Dried Tomatos, Stewed Tomatoes, Jalapenos and much more.
I had the pleasure of trying the Heart attack Mac with Caramelized onions, crispy bacon and topped off with Parmesan Panko Crumble. It was very tasty with just the right fix-ins that I love.
Two of their biggest sellers is their BBQ in a bowl, which is the Original Mac with BBQ chicken chunks, Smokey BBQ drizzle, topped with Cornbread crumble and potato chip crisps and their return of the Mac Grilled Cheese.
I was curious to how Marti came up with the Mac n’ Cheese concept. Not that it’s original, but I grew up with just the basic Mac n’ Cheese and always enjoyed it. Here is what Marti had to say;
“I like to say that I come up with everything using my “Fat kid brain” and I really just think if I were a glutinous little boy who sat in front of video games all day and could eat whatever I wanted, what would that be. And of course one of those thoughts would be Mac’n Cheese, with everything from BBQ chicken to Tatter tots!”
You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy a bowl of Mac n’ Cheese! Besides, you can’t miss this pink food truck. So what are you waiting for, get your Mac on at the Mac Mart Cart!
