If you are the parent of a child in an independent school, then you already know that many Tampa Bay area schools do not have a full-service cafeteria; students either have to bring a bag lunch or eat take-out fast food.

As a working mom, I liked having the convenience of purchasing fast food delivered to my children’s school, but not the nutritional content.   My son became so tired of eating his favorite fast food sandwich every Wednesday that he boycotted the restaurant for many months

After conversations with other moms and school officials, I knew that there had to be a way to offer a better lunch program providing healthier kid friendly meals. With 20 years in the restaurant business and parental instincts as my guide, My Lunch Box was created.  In 2006, we begin serving lunches at our children’s school.

Debra Beverly (mother of 2) joined our team as manager in 2007.  With her big smile, silly humor and loving nature, she quickly became the kid’s favorite lunch lady and helped me build our program to include other schools.  In 2010 we became partners and The Radical Lunch Ladies was born.

Every day we offer hot entrees, fresh salads, and deli sandwiches, giving kids a variety of healthful choices.   Kids love the selections and parents are pleased to know that their children are eating healthier.

The Radical Lunch Ladies goal is simple:

to provide affordable lunches to our area school kids that are healthy and fun. 

We consider it a privilege to serve your family and school and look forward to feeding your kids.

The Lunch Ladies,

Rebecca and Debra
