9 Things to Do in Richmond, Virginia - AFAR

"A longtime, old-fashioned spot known for boxed lunches and classic, unfussy comfort foods that have become a regional staple." - AFAR

"A Box Lunch You'll Long Remember Experience culinary time travel—and classic southern flavors. Box lunches include a chicken salad, Smithfield ham or pimento cheese sandwich (among other choices), potato salad, cheese wafer, deviled egg, and a famous upside down iced cupcake, all packed in cardboard boxes tied with string, just as they have been since the 1920s. Try their lemon chess tart, too."

Since 1924, this lunch-only institution has boxed up Richmond’s most nostalgic midday ritual: sandwich, potato or macaroni salad, deviled egg, cheese wafer, and a cupcake. Honored as a James Beard America’s Classic, it’s priceless living history.
