Oaks and Derby Box Lunches - Who's doing them this year?

I posted this last year and got a great list of places to choose from. It was very helpful to me personally and to those I work with.

If anyone has Oaks and/or Derby box lunches on the menu this year, please let me know. If you can easily post the menu (or a link to the menu) even better.

Thanks in advance!

If La Grange is not too far for you to pick up, Norma Jean's Trackside will be offering box lunches from a host of sandwichs on our regular menu. Send me your e-mail address and I will forward you a PDF of the menu. Our address is njeanburley@netscape.net. Thanks.

Meridian Cafe is!

Deli Style sandwiches/wraps that include dessert (double chocolate brownie) pickle and our yummy Russett and Sweet Potato chips. $9.00 If you watch WLKY (just finished filming segment) on Sunday morning at 8:45 you might get even a better deal.
Watch for details!
