Lunchbag on Main

If you haven't tried the new restaurant in the Holiday Inn Select downtown, run don't walk! You will be amazed by the culinary talents of celebrity chef, Michelle Hamrick. It all started with the Holiday Inn Selects General Manager, Tony Camm. He created the "Making the Chef" competition in search of a celebrity style chef for the new restaurant. I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the twenty judges and was treated to three awesome dinners from the three finalists. At the end of the week we had to choose our favorite...............mine WON! Michelle Hamrick was chosen as the new celebrity chef! Over the past few months I have not only been able to enjoy her gourmet food but have also had the priviledge of getting to know Michelle. She is awesome! I don't know of any other way to put it.
On another note, Tony Camm asked me to design a logo with the new restaurant name. Now I know many of you are wondering how in the world they came up with Lunchbag on Main. The hotel owners wanted a name that had ties to Lynchburg. During the war, the soldiers would travel through Lynchburg and while they were here they would get their meals in "Lunchbags". Whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, they were presented in "Lunchbags". Hense the name of the new restaurant, Lunchbag on Main. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and features a full service bar (Chris will be bartending so stop by and visit him! :o). Their grand opening is set for August 5. Stay tuned for more pictures and fun filled events that will take place there.
