Tucked away on a quiet block near the intersection of Skinker and Clayton, Parker’s Table began as a wine and cheese boutique. Its offerings now include everything from bloody mary mix to fresh pasta to beer and now, sandwiches.
Says Parker’s Table owner John Parker, “We’ve been friends for a long time and it just came up in conversation. It was one of those things were two people are talking and both looking to make changes, and those changes happened to be mutually agreeable.”
Since opening six years ago, Parker’s Table has expanded, taking down walls and increasing the amount and variety of goods for purchase. Its latest addition, a full kitchen, enabled the collaboration with Salume Beddu. “Now we’ve hit the back wall,” John Parker says. “There are no more walls to take down.” But the shop does plan to continue growing — the shop has purchased the space next door and plans to use it for events, possibly as soon as this fall.
Lunch is offered 11 a.m to 2 p.m. Wine buyer and shop manager Cara Flaherty says, “people tend to congregate" around the one communal table on weekends, but they envision the lunch service to mostly be grab-and-go. Their sandwich boxes are priced around the $10 mark, and include Billy Goat chips (flavored with Salume Beddu spices, naturally) and a choice of sparkling water. If you’re feeling frisky, you could purchase a can of wine instead.
The small menu features just a handful of options: a prosciutto cotto sandwich, speck with gruyere, their take on the muffaletta, salami with provolone and a roasted veggie. Seasonal specials will also be offer.

Sandwiches come with chips and your choice of water, or you can purchase wine instead.
