Weekender: New restaurant to bring back the mac to the Midlands

Holy Moly Macaroni, a new restaurant opening in Birmingham Grand Central next month, is on a mission to bring proper mac to the Midlands.

Birmingham based entrepreneur, Anthony Duffy, is set to open his debut Harlem inspired restaurant mid-June , which will sell more than its famous four cheese macaroni, with other dishes such as double dipped fried chicken in a ginger beer batter and baby back eight-hour smoked ribs on offer to tantalise the taste buds.

Duffy said: “Holy Moly Macaroni combines a mixture of my favourite things: Birmingham, high-quality food and an authentic place to work.

“Since beginning Holy Moly through my Mac Shack in 2012, I have been committed to providing enjoyment through delicious food so I need my team to have that appreciation for the eating experience too.

“I’m extremely proud of my Birmingham roots and I hope this restaurant can help give something back to the community through local jobs for local people.”
