Homegrown Success: World-Famous House of Mac Opens 4th Location

After four years of food truck success, die-hard celebrity fans, over 58K Instagram followers, and three brick and mortar locations, the World-Famous House of Mac is opening a new “to-go” restaurant location in North Miami Beach, further expanding community relations, providing job opportunities, expanding the business’ franchise and of course, providing food lovers the best Mac and Cheese and comfort food in Miami.

Known for their unique spin on traditional cuisine, “Chef Teach,” whips up succulent delights like jerk salmon pasta, buttermilk fried chicken & French vanilla waffles, and his signature World Famous Five Cheese Truffle Mac & Cheese.

Since its inception in 2015, Chef Teach is often spotted in his mobile food truck, delivering dishes at the Wynwood Yard in South Florida. The mac and cheese-centric eatery took Miami’s dining scene to exciting new heights as fans lined around for blocks to sample the mixed-style Caribbean soul-food. His Caribbean flair has enticed locals and celebrities alike to claim Chef Teach as their “go-to guy” for catering events.

Teach attended culinary school in 1998, but began his professional career in the music industry – he managed Pitbull for more than 13 years while working alongside other hip-hop royalty such as A$AP Rocky and Yo Gotti. During his time in the music industry, Teach developed friendships with artists such as N.O.R.E. and Fat Joe in and out of the studio. Next thing you know, he often found himself cooking for his friends.

After devouring Teach’s decadent variations of mac and cheese and discovering his culinary talent, friends like Bun B encouraged Teach to “take the cooking thing more seriously.” Bun B convinced Teach to prepare some of his signature dishes for his guests and observe their reactions, just to show Teach how good he really was.

After his father’s passing in 2013, Teach felt an immense urge to do something meaningful with his life, inspiring him to take his friends’ advice, circle back to his culinary roots, and build his legacy as “Chef Teach.” In honor of his beloved father, Teach designed a caricature of his father’s face, which is now the World Famous Mac and Cheese logo.

Celebrities like Rick Ross, Fat Joe and A$AP Mob are huge fans of Chef Teach’s scrumptious dishes. The coolest recognition yet? According to Teach himself, the Venus and Serena Williams Invitational was amongst his biggest and most prestigious events thus far. Recent celebrity fans include Dwayne Wade, Gabrielle Union, Nate Robinson, Daymond John, ASAP Ferg, Fab 5 Freddy, Miami’s own Trick Daddy, Christian Combs, Charles Oakley, Uncle Luke, and more.
