Why Holy Macaroni?

Holy Macaroni has quickly become the most sought-after Brand & Menu, playing State Level Fairs and National Music and Street Style Shows, winning the votes of Concession Managers, and most importantly, Patrons throughout the East Coast, from Florida north to New York. We are the original pioneer in the BUILD YOUR OWN menu space, never seen before on the Show Trail, taking Mac & Cheese from a side dish all the way to main dish! 

OUR HISTORY:   We initially started as a Hot Dog Cart, then a Concession Trailer, serving at local farmers markets, breweries, and any pop-up event willing to allow us in. We served nearly 300 days our first year, learning the business and evolving our menu to a select few items.  Eventually, we keyed in on only Mac & Cheese.  We created a menu that accommodated the masses (Build your own) while fixing the problem that everyone in the Mac & Cheese Space encountered; how to serve fresh, creamy mac & cheese…quickly and in volume.  We did it; perfected our process over-and-over again, and here we are now….proud to say, “We have become the best in the Mac & Cheese Space!”

We instantly knew we had a winner as we were solicited daily with new events.  The following year, we set our goals on the biggest events in Florida, trading our food trailer for 20, 30 and at times, 40 foot of concession tents, successfully serving at some of the largest 2-3 day shows in the state; Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Miami Pride, Delray Affair, to name a few.  The following year, we played our first Fair, the Citrus County Fair, and quickly, we recognized the stability awarded by remaining stationary for many days, if not weeks at a time.  Fairs sheltered us from the risk of transient weather and allowed us to build a base of local customers, feeding many over-and-over again, through the duration of our stay.

Since then, year after year, we began converting our route to 100% Fairs.  Fast Forward many years to 2023, and here we are, playing some of the largest Top 10 and Top 25 Fairs in the country, while still playing a few Arts, Music and Seafood Festivals, as fillers along the way.

Multiple Culinary and Set-Up Teams and a growing route, we bring to the public, the Best Mac & Cheese Bowls in the business.

ENVISION:  Imagine giving the customer the option to “Build” their Mac Bowl meal with endless options from fresh seafood (Lobster , Scallop, Grouper, Shrimp, Crab & Squid), to Meat (Prime Rib, Chicken, Italian & Chorizo Sausage, Bacon & Pork), and Veggies (Green & Jalapeno Pepper, Onion, Tomato, Mushroom, Asparagus, Cilantro, Spinach), then to cook and prepare their dish in front of their eyes, delivering a fresh, cooked to order-custom meal; “Brilliantly Amazing, the best Food ever”, as described by so many.

“Amazing, WOW, Brilliant, Never Seen anything like this before, The Best Food Here, Where do we find you after the show, You have to come back next year, OMG it’s Holy Macaroni” are comments we receive all day/night long, at each show we serve.  We’ve taken an all-time comfort food, recreated it, and knocked it to an entirely new level!

Presentation

​Kitchen:  We take presentation very seriously.  We spared no expense, and invested in the best commercial cooking, temperature holding and sanitary equipment.  We are one of a few Concessionaires on the trail, that roll into a show with a full gourmet kitchen!  You WILL NEVER see coolers used for food, buckets for cleaning dishes, and backyard grills in our Kitchen!

Branding:  Our signage is clear, clean, and professional.  We utilize dual 60” LED Screens for our Menu and Meal Displays.

Professional Staff:  Serve safe certified, friendly, courteous and trained.  One of our three principals are always on staff.

Result:  We are not hidden in an aluminum box.  Customers can see everyone and everything that occurs in our kitchen.  Our open kitchen awards the customer plain view of the entire prep, cook and serve process.  By operating a spotless, tight and proficient kitchen, customers know they are not only getting the best foods our brands are known for, but in a manner that is sanitary and safe; the cooking class is merely a bonus!

“You guys have the most professional set up I’ve ever seen at any festival, and I’ve been to my share of them.  Reminds me of a high-end catering outfit”     Chef J Kulwicki, PA

“Nothing like I expect at a festival.  Where is your restaurant?”
“Are you available to cater our wedding”

Performance

​While we place Quality over Quantity and we will ALWAYS COOK TO ORDER EACH MEAL, we have the equipment, professional staff, and process, to turn meals very quickly.  We spend an entire day, sometimes several days, preparing our ingredients, so come game time, we can turn meals lightning speed, without sacrificing quality. 

Mac Bowls – 2-3 Minutes (Assemble, Cook, Fix and Serve)
20 Mac & Cheese Bowls per hour, per burner, multiplied by an unlimited number of burners!  Generally, our show teams are prepared with 4, 8, 12 or even 16 burners.   For most shows, 8 burners and up to 160 cooked to order Mac & Cheese Bowls per hour is sufficient.

That’s a ton of Meals turned, at par with the “Scoop & Serve” vendors dishing precooked meals.  How do we do this?  Preparation, Preparation, Preparation, Our Fine-Tuned Process, Professional Equipment and a very Highly Trained Staff!

​In conclusion, we are not festival food, we are not fast food and we are certainly not precooked cafeteria type food.  We are Excellent Food; gourmet, cooked to order and mouth-watering food, the type everyone will be talking about!
