"We want to inspire our fans to be creative with pierogies, and Mac Mart's version is a fun twist on the classic macaroni and cheese recipe."

"In our six years in business, we've offered hundreds of fun and inspired Mac and Cheese menu items, but we've never replaced the macaroni noodles before," said Marti Lieberman, Owner and Creator of Mac Mart. "We're all about experimenting with new flavors and ingredients, so joining forces with Mrs. T's Pierogies to celebrate our newest favorite food holiday, National Pierogy Day, seemed like a no-brainer!"

About Mrs. T's Pierogies
In 1952, Ted Twardzik Sr. dreamt of starting a food company inspired by his mother's pierogy recipe. He remembered how popular the Polish dumplings were at church festivals and thought people would likely buy them. Later that year, Ted sold the very first pierogy samples to his local grocery store in Shenandoah, PA, and to honor his mother Mary Twardzik – the Mrs. T – he called his company Mrs. T's Pierogies. Now, more than 60 years later, Mrs. T's Pierogies is the largest producer of frozen pierogies, producing 600 million pierogies a year.

About Mac Mart
Marti Lieberman's Mac Mart debuted on the streets of Drexel's campus in the winter of 2013. Without much experience running her own business, let alone a food truck, Miss Lieberman knew there were some kinks to work out, but she was determined to succeed. While her cheese sauce was always a hit, she felt like there was something still missing. Lieberman brought on two people to complete her team; Her sister, Pamela and her boyfriend, Garrett Jablonski. By combining Marti's background in public relations, Pamela's love of all things culinary, and utilizing Garrett's brawn for day to day operations, the bright pink truck became an instant hit at private affairs, night markets, and food festivals.
