Hey, I’m Mychal, the cook behind The Smiff Shack. For as long as I can remember, food has been my way of connecting with people. I grew up surrounded by the bold flavors of Southern comfort food and the fire of Caribbean jerk traditions, and over time I found my own style; mixing those roots with creativity and soul to make something special.

Cooking has never just been about recipes for me. It’s about moments. I learned early on, standing over a grill at backyard barbecues and community cookouts, that food has a way of pulling people together. It’s the laughs, the music, the conversations, and that feeling you get when a good meal hits just right. That’s the spirit I carry with me every time I fire up the truck.

The Smiff Shack is more than a place to grab a plate; it’s a little rolling piece of culture, community, and heart. I pour love into every dish, whether it’s smoky jerk chicken straight off the grill, a Southern classic with my own twist, or something new I’ve been experimenting with. My goal is simple: to make sure every bite feels like comfort and celebration rolled into one.

So when you stop by, you’re not just getting food — you’re getting a piece of me, my story, and the traditions that shaped me. And I promise, you’ll always leave with a full stomach, a smile, and maybe even a new favorite dish.
