Tour Description
Presented By:
Susan Wilson
Program Description:
Food lovers around the world associate two iconic baked goods with the historic Omni Parker House: Parker House Rolls and Boston Cream Pie. While the stories behind these two longtime favorites are included in House Historian Susan Wilson’s beautifully illustrated PowerPoint lecture, so too are tales of innovative dining plans, massive farm-to-table enterprises, top-secret recipes, a long-mysterious nineteenth century French chef, and a staff that once included such iconic names as Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X, Emeril Lagasse, and Lydia Shire. The result is a full plate of seldom-told culinary tales.
