Recipe: Mac’s Speed Shop’s new peach cobbler is what we all need this summer.

Mac’s Speed Shop knows how to face these dog days of summer in Charlotte: With peach cobbler á la mode.

The $7 dessert is served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream — best eaten on sticky summer nights sitting on the restaurant’s patio.

Prefer to make it at home? Actually, you can do that, too: Our friends at Mac’s sent us the recipe. Happy summer baking!
