Amy & Tammy’s Boxed Lunch Company
A posse of hungry-eyed corporate types is headed your way. How best to avoid the chopping block?
a) Underwhelm them with soggy subs and petrified cookies from your desk.
b) Hide under said desk.
c) Lighten things up with a call to Amy & Tammy’s Boxed Lunch Company.
Ding ding! (Gurgle gurgle.)
The Marietta biz’s retro lunch deliveries are anything but ordinary. Homemade picks include heart-healthy Greek salads and sandwiches topped with cheese, roasted red peppers, and green apple slices. Tasty sides (broccoli and Waldorf salads, bow-tie pasta) leave plain chips in the dust.
Solo boxes come with a handful of old-timey candies (Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs), a coaster, and a surprise. Throwback goodies like stickers, googly eyes, and fortune teller fish are all up for grabs. And you can’t go wrong with hummingbird and Coca-Cola cake desserts.
Well. At least you won’t go hungry.
