T-Macs named Chamber’s Business of the Month for August
Think back to 5 years ago, do you remember what you were doing? I can tell you what Stacy and Tabitha McCollum were doing; they were buying Charlie & Reubens! Yes, that’s right, T-Macs is celebrating their 5-Year Anniversary!
Stacy, a 1994 OHS graduate, went on to graduate with a Bachelors Degree from Oklahoma State School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration in 1999. He and Tabitha Dilley of Yale, OK were married in 2000. Stacy was the Executive Chef at J. Alexander’s in Overland Park, KS before he came back to Okeene.
In 2009 Stacy’s brother, Scott McCollum, relocated from Louisville, KY to come home and join the T-Macs staff. Scott graduated from OHS in 1999 and also went to OSU to receive his Bachelor’s Degree from Oklahoma State School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration in 2005. He and his wife, Delaina married in 2006 and lived in Louisville, KY where he was an Executive Chef at J. Alexanders. They now live in Hennessey since Delaina is both employed by and attending OSU Veterinarian School, Hennessey, seems to split the difference for the couple nicely. Scott specializes in desserts; you can order wedding cakes and specialty dessert items from him.
The added staff has allowed Stacy to consider new menu items which should be out soon: French Dip, a Marinated Pork Tenderloin Dinner and Rattlesnake Pasta, (made with chicken).
T-Macs is open seven days a week: M-Sat 11a-8p and on Sundays from 11a-2p.
We hope you will join us Tuesday, August 31 from 6 – 8pm as we celebrate this 5-Year Milestone when all dine-In large pizza’s will be ½ off. Mark your calendars now; we’ll have a piece of anniversary cake waiting for you!
