Meet the Team
Randy "Mac" McCray
VISIONARY & OWNER
Owner Randy “Mac” McCray lends his name to the eponymous Mac’s Chophouse. Alongside his wife and business partner, the pair bring an exciting modern Marietta steakhouse to this premier location.
The McCray's are committed to bringing innovative flavors and quality dining experiences to guests on the Historic Marietta Square. Inspired by the classic American steakhouse, imbued with a modern tasteful amount of 1920s flair, the menu is only one part of what makes this upscale casual Marietta restaurant popular with residents and visitors.
This isn't Mac's first foray into fine dining. With his brother Scott, these experienced restaurateurs operate several other popular spots in the metro Atlanta area, including The Mill Kitchen and Bar in Roswell, and several popular McCray’s Tavern locations in Lawrenceville, Smyrna, Marietta and Midtown. Focused on providing an exceptional dining experience and a welcoming ambiance with exceptional personal service, it's clear why the McCray name has become synonymous with quality dining in the Atlanta area.
MICHAEL FULLER
EXECUTIVE CHEF & OWNER, Mac's chophouse & MAc's Raw bar
Chef / Owner Michael Fuller’s culinary adventure began 35 years ago on Hilton Head Island, SC. He apprenticed under spirited Swiss Chef George Wierman, learning the basics and gaining an appreciation for acute details. Fuller’s eagerness to learn and grow then took him to Culinary school at Johnson and Wales in Charleston SC. While attending school he was asked to join the opening team of the now renowned Magnolia’s under Chef Donald Barickman. Barickman’s advanced approach to culinary and management techniques opened up an entirely different world and instilled a life long appreciation for Upscale Southern Cuisine. Fuller then moved to Atlanta in advance of the Olympics and achieved his first Executive Chef position at Beesley’s of Buckhead. His career took off from there working in some of the highest acclaimed restaurant groups in the city. He gained a deep appreciation and expertise working in steakhouses like McKendrick’s, Del Frisco’s and Ray’s Restaurants.
Fuller’s belief that the modern American Steakhouse is the current Fine dining platform led him to the opening of Mac’s Chophouse on the Marietta Square. His relationship with founders Randy & Kelly McCray came organically and developed naturally through a shared passion for elevated food and service.
Fuller is a long time resident of East Cobb with son Michael, now a college student in West Virginia. He is a dedicated father who enjoys time spent watching his son on the baseball field, volunteering with Share Our Strength, American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and the Giving Kitchen.

Michelle Anderson Ettl
Front of House Manager, Mac’s Chophouse & RAW BAR
Born and raised in Marietta, Georgia, Michelle has deep roots in the community she now helps welcome through Mac’s doors every day. Her love for hospitality comes from the creativity it allows — a chance to express herself, connect with guests, and help create memorable experiences with every interaction.
Michelle’s career began in a small pub during college, where she quickly discovered her passion for the restaurant world. From serving and bartending to opening new stores and training teams, she worked her way into management before finding her calling in events and catering. “I loved helping guests bring their vision to life,” she says — a passion that continues to drive her today.
When the opportunity arose to join Mac’s, Michelle knew it was the right fit. “I was drawn to the incredible reputation the restaurant has in the industry,” she shares.
She credits a former District Operations Manager as one of her greatest influences — a true leader who could step into any role, roll up his sleeves, and lead by example. “I had mad respect for him then, and still do to this day.”
Outside of work, Michelle finds her peace far from the bustle — at her family’s cottage in Canada, a five-generation legacy and her personal slice of paradise.

Cassandra Zywics
Event Planning & Guest Experience | Mac’s Chophouse
For Cassandra Zywics, event planning has never felt like a job — it’s simply who she’s always been. Long before joining the hospitality world, she was the friend and family member organizing gatherings, celebrations, and meaningful moments. Today at Mac’s Chophouse, that same passion drives every event she brings to life.
Cassandra believes the most memorable celebrations come from thoughtful details and genuine connection. Her approach begins with listening — understanding what matters most to each host and translating that vision into an experience that feels personal, seamless, and unforgettable. Whether it’s customized menus, perfectly set lighting, or a personalized wine touch, she focuses on the elements that make guests feel truly seen.
She especially enjoys planning wedding rehearsals, birthday celebrations, and corporate dinners — occasions where hosts want to impress their guests and create something extraordinary. With full confidence in Mac’s Chophouse’s exceptional cuisine, elevated wine program, and polished service, Cassandra helps clients turn big ideas into effortless experiences.
Known for her responsiveness and clear communication, Cassandra works closely with guests every step of the way, ensuring planning feels smooth and stress-free. Her philosophy is simple: whatever matters most to the client becomes her top priority.
One recent favorite event perfectly reflects her approach — a 40th birthday celebration where the guest arrived late and overwhelmed. Cassandra and her team stepped in, completed the décor, added finishing touches, and transformed the evening into a relaxed, joyful celebration the host could fully enjoy.
What excites her most about Mac’s Chophouse is the opportunity to continually create something new within a timeless setting — combining outstanding food, curated wines, and genuine hospitality to elevate every occasion.
When she’s not coordinating events, Cassandra recharges with her greatest inspiration: her supportive husband and her twins, who she calls her biggest cheerleaders. Creating lifelong memories with her family mirrors the same feeling she hopes every guest leaves with after an event — valued, impressed, and deeply connected to the Mac’s Chophouse experience.
