“Every time I make that, it f*cks people up.” There’s also “Ethiopian tacos” and “soul food sushi.”
He tells me about his soul food tacos: New Orleans-style stewed beef neck bones with potatoes, vegetables, and a little gravy in a taco shell. It’s inspired by some of his own recipes. “I wanted to open a restaurant called Fusion Confusion,” he continues. “My brother and his husband were like, ‘We need a place to party.’ I’m like, ‘Let's open a f*cking place to party.’”īut his wildest ambition in the world of bars and restaurants remains unfulfilled, for now. “I have a gay bar in New Orleans that is the crown jewel of gay bars,” Mackie says. And then there’s the “flagship” of the operation. The actor owns a bar with some friends in Beverly Hills and used to have two more in New York. He tried to open a franchise of his beloved Atlanta Mexican restaurant in New Orleans, but the owners weren’t interested. Mackie splits his time between Atlanta (for work) and New Orleans (where he’s from, and where his four sons live with their mother). On Sunday, I’ll start here and just make my way up the block.” My favorite dinner restaurant is next door to that. “This is my favorite restaurant,” he says. I won’t name the location to avoid blowing up his spot, because it’s a crucial part of Mackie’s day-off routine. It’s only been a few weeks since the accident, but Mackie excitedly recounts the story like it’s a funny clip he saw on YouTube (and not an actual, near-death experience) as we grapple with QR codes at an outdoor table on a bustling Atlanta city block. Kolor shirt, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello sunglasses “It was the craziest sequence of events I’ve ever experienced.” When his car finally landed, the hood popped off and flew over his head. I’m high enough to where I can look down on her car.” He’s laughing as he tells this story, but the laughter is tinged with relief. “The car went over the axle and hit the tire, and the axle picked me up and just launched me into the air,” Mackie says. He looked to the left, saw a car approaching in the merge lane, and made his decision with superhuman speed: He drove straight into the axle. Boom.” The impact separated her front axle and two tires from the rest of the vehicle and sent them straight into the middle lane. Then, she overcorrected, veering to the right and spinning into the guard rail.

He moved into the middle lane so the other driver could pass by, but she lost control and made contact. Then, another car came up behind him at what Mackie thinks was easily 100 miles per hour. It was a great evening.” “It was the craziest sequence of events I’ve ever experienced.” I was enjoying life, listening to Whitney Houston. “I got something to eat and was driving home. “I just got off of work,” the 44-year-old actor says, setting the scene. (Our 90-minute lunch is sandwiched in between a day of “mo-cap and green screen sh*t” and an afternoon spent memorizing scripts.) But first, the car crash. We’ll get to his upcoming Peacock adaptation of the beloved ’90s vehicular combat video games soon, along with his starring role in Marvel’s Captain America 4, which is what brings him to Atlanta. “Driving in Atlanta is the best video game you’ve ever played in your life,” Mackie tells me two weeks later, settling in for tacos and margaritas on a sunny afternoon.
Case in point: a cinematic car crash in late May that left him unscratched but laid waste to his ride.
