Questions before lunch?
A few quick answers for the person ordering lunch for everybody.
What is the minimum order?
Every office order has a $750 minimum, with free delivery to one location. The easiest way to reach it is the $25 Executive Box Lunch — thirty boxes and you're there, no counting. You can also mix in à la carte sandwiches (priced by build, about 32 at $16 reaches $750), sides, or charcuterie in any combination.
How far ahead do I need to order?
Every order is custom catering, planned around your team and occasion. Submit your request by Sunday at 7 PM CT, at least two weeks before your requested date. Dates are subject to availability and confirmation by Chef Lesly.

Holidays are possible, but they are scoped first. Holiday dates are not on the standard calendar — plan one with Merlin under Catering, or call.
What comes with each box lunch?
Each box includes one sandwich, one side, and black-eyed peas. Dessert is not included; desserts are available à la carte.
Is the food delivered hot or cold?
Our delivery menu is served cold. Sandwiches, salads, and black-eyed peas arrive chilled. We are not offering hot sides or hot-food delivery.
Can I add charcuterie, extra sides, or extra dessert?
Yes — those extras are available à la carte and count toward the $750 minimum.
Can I order just sandwiches, without boxes?
