A legendary club that celebrates the very best in mac and cheese on offer in Glasgow is set to celebrate its tenth anniversary.
It's been over ten years since the very first meeting of the Scottish Macaroni Appreciation Club (SMAC) and organisers are getting ready to host an epic 10th birthday bash at Sloans on Wednesday, June 28 at 7 pm.
Conceived back in 2013, as a fun way for the team of mac and cheese fanatics working for Sloans to celebrate the popular dish, the club went on to become a sell-out monthly event attracting people from all over the world during their visits to Glasgow.

Each fun event sees guests 'pledge allegiance' to macaroni, digging into 4 different mac dishes then voting for the 'Mac Daddy', with some of the best-loved dishes over the years having included the likes of Salt & Chilli Mac, Tex Mex Mac, Loaded Fries Mac and Sloans own legendary macaroni.
The culmination of the event is the Mystery Mac – a secret macaroni that’s unveiled on the night and not always for the faint of heart.
Some of these concoctions have included the likes of Blackforest Mac, Frogs Legs Mac, Monster Munch Mac and Crème Egg Mac.
Event manager at Sloans, Rachel Farmer, said: “SMAC has been going now for over ten years, proof that the people of Glasgow are serious about their macaroni cheese and a real testament to its enduring appeal as the ultimate feel-good food.
“Not many events can claim a ten-year run and we can’t wait to celebrate – we’re hoping to see regulars returning back from the very first night of SMAC and hopefully loads of new folk discovering what it’s all about too.”
“Tickets are going to go fast so set a reminder and get in quick – this one’s going to be something special.”
