"Owned by Patrick Coleman, Cornbread Restaurant & Bar is known for its shoebox lunches, adorned with pictures and stories of famous Black Americans. This tradition began in 2018 as a tribute to Black train commuters who were banned from dining cars during the Jim Crow era. The restaurant offers a blend of historical education and Southern cuisine, with meals like fried chicken wings and catfish with macaroni and cheese. The shoeboxes, which provide a history lesson alongside the meal, are popular during Black History Month and are available year-round. They have also been ordered by schools and universities for educational purposes." - Ashok Selvam
