University of Missouri–St. Louis alumnus and restaurateur Chris “Mac” McKenzie delivers food to two patrons at the new location for Mac’s Local Eats, which opened in November on Oakland Avenue across I-64 from Forest Park. UMSL campus photographer August Jennewein stopped by Mac’s to have some lunch and photograph McKenzie, a 2000 graduate of the College of Business Administration, for the upcoming issue of UMSL Magazine. This photograph is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
