Additional Description

Abstract

This collection is comprised of the recipe and pricing book for the Cardinal Deli (previously the Co-op, Berea College Grocery, and the Cardinal Grocery) located at 110 Main Street, Berea, KY. The Co-op (part of Berea College Industries) and Berea College Grocery were owned by Berea College until April 1970 when it was purchased by Earl J. Shupe (former College Grocery Store Manager). Shupe renamed the grocery store to the Cardinal Grocery/Deli. Eddie “Fast Eddie” Shupe, Earl’s son, purchased the grocery in 1982. The deli within the store was often referred to as Fast Eddie’s Deli. The book was created by Eddie Shupe and left at the establishment when he sold it in 1999. The grocery/deli permanently closed not long after it was sold in 1999.
