The Cheddar Box- Chenoweth Square

I noticed a discrepancy on the Cheddar Box (Chenoweth) website regarding their hours (do they now close at 4 or 6?), so I looked them up on Facebook, and I saw that someone had posted that they are closing this week! Cheddar Box Too ( across the parking lot) and The Cheddar Box Cafe (Middletown) aren't affected, supposedly and hopefully-- I know the Middletown one is owned by someone else. Can anyone confirm this?? People were commenting on how much they'll miss the cheese torte, but I've always had the one from Middletown, and they are famous for theirs too! I sometimes would go to the one in Chenoweth to pick up tasty things for dinner and more often to get a piece of Italian Cream Cake or chocolate chess pie. Their orange iced tea was always so refreshing. I heard that they'd stopped having slices of cake and pie for sale, so I hadn't been there that recently.

Oh, that's too bad! It was a nice place, where I went maybe every three or four years.

Marie, as I recall, the Middletown shop is separate, sold by the original owner, while the two properties in Chenoweth Square have the same (original) owner. I could be proven wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but that's how I remember it.

Apparently it is confirmed that the Cheddar Box in Chenoweth Square is closing. The owner of the Cheddar Box Cafe in Middletown posted about it on Facebook. The Cheddar Box, Cheddar Box Too and Cheddar Box Cafe all have different owners; the cafe and Cheddar Box Too will both remain open.

And the Courier Journal talked to the Cheddar Box owner:

Nancy Tarrant, who opened The Cheddar Box in 1979, said she closed the deli because she felt she was ready to retire.
“I think it was time,” Tarrant, 83, said. “I’m tired.” ...

Tarrant said she will miss her customers and the 12 employees that worked for the Cheddar Box.
“We had the most loyal customers,” Tarrant said. “I always loved when they brought in their children with them.”
Tarrant said Elderberry Provisions, a caterer and baker based in Louisville, will move in to her longtime storefront once some equipment is moved out.

Ooooh! A bakery/caterer with a name like Elderberry Provisions sounds delightful!! Hopefully it is a human caterer/bakery and not a dog one though!


Seriously, I just found their website:

The Elderberry part is in honor of the owner’s parents’ - it was their street address. I’m scratching my head at $55 for a pie?? Hopefully they’re gigantic!


Their pies sound good

Catering, so pricey, and surely intended to feed a crowd, but still!

However, I did have to chuckle at their snarkiness on this delicacy:

Indeed! I've seen one named "The Day in May the Horses Run Pie" (I think it was Vince Staten's? They also had "I Fought the Slaw and the Slaw Won"...)
