The Lunch Box opens in Grand Marais with casual food options

There’s a new option for casual dining coming to First Avenue in Grand Marais. Patricia and Todd Smith have opened a food truck in the lot between Gunflint Mercantile and The Fly Box outdoor gear store.

The Smiths have operated a food truck in the past and now that they are living back in Grand Marais, they thought they would once again get in the street food business. WTIP asked Pat Smith what is on The Lunch Box menu and she said, "Corn dogs, brats, hotdogs, sloppy joes, cheese curds, boneless chicken wings, and cotton candy."

They are working on adding a North Shore favorite to the menu as well, walleye fingers.
 
In addition, Pat Smith has a sideline, Patty Cake Cupcakes. As time allows, she will also have her gourmet cupcakes for sale.
 
WTIP’s Rhonda Silence stopped by to learn more about this new enterprise. Here’s her report.
