This week marks an especially difficult one for our Lunchbox family. Over the past year, we were working tirelessly on our newest venture, which was going to be a brick and mortar in the Edgewater/Rogers Park neighborhood. We were eagerly anticipating the day we could announce our Grand Opening and our final step of getting a long awaited inspection was scheduled for yesterday. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen due to a fire that destroyed the restaurant late Wednesday night.
We are heartbroken and devastated that our dream was ripped away in a matter of hours, but we are focusing on rebuilding it bigger and better as soon as possible.
We want to thank our family and friends, the food truck community, our loyal customers and even strangers on the street for the tremendous outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. Your words are keeping us uplifted when we know being positive is essential to moving forward and rebuilding. We shall rise from these ashes. Stay tuned…

Our Story
Mom Knows Best
The Sandwich has been an American lunchtime staple since the 1920’s when Moms were given the gift of sliced bread. Lunchboxes have been since then packed with zip locked ham and cheeses and classic PB&J’s. Decades later, we are still looking to the perfect sandwich to give us that quick, satisfying bite of goodness. With constant culinary inventiveness and influences from around the world, the sandwich has revolutionized to become a true edible testament of our city’s diversity.
Banh Mi Please
From the Panini to the Cubano to the French dipped-there is a sandwich that represents what mothers have made for lunch on every kitchen counter. For the Vietnamese, it’s the Banh Mi. East meets West in this one-of-a-kind sandwich where cooked, cured, and pickled are placed neatly in a French Baguette for a myriad of flavors that stimulate. The Banh Mi has been well-received in kitchens and food trucks across the country, but even classics need innovation.
Banh Mi With a Twist
Chicago Lunchbox wants to bring to you a mix of the old and new. Coming from a Vietnamese-American background, sandwich slanger John Nguyen has added a twist to tradition. Inspired by his upbringing in authentic Vietnamese kitchens and his own appreciation of the best of Asian flavors, he has created Banh Mi sandwiches that pay tribute to all things yum. From John’s favorite Thai dish, ground Thai basil chicken, to longanisa, the savory Filipino breakfast sausage, there is no lack of creativity found in these lunchboxes.
