Created
in 2011, the non-profit Taste History is the first culinary history tour of its
kind in Palm Beach County and has grown to feature five cities that are West Palm Beach; Lake Worth and Lantana; and Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. The
tour partners include family-owned eateries, cafes, markets, bakeries, juice
bars, tea bars, an urban farm, antique shops, art galleries and non-profit cultural centers
highlighting local artists.
Taste History
incorporates a rotation of cuisine tastings representing varied cultures that
are African American, Southern American, Asian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Continental, Greco-Roman, Italian, English,
French, French Canadian, Mediterranean, Irish, Australian, New Zealand,
Hungarian, Turkish and Ancient Mexican along with farm-to-table and organic tastings. Taste
History combines history, culture and cuisine therefore this gastronomy tour
infuses food tastings with the history of the State of Florida and the local
area along with visits to historic buildings and art galleries.
Lori J. Durante,
Executive Tour Director, developed the Taste History Culinary Tours as an
extension of the Narrated Bus Tours of Historic Delray Beach that began in 2004
which has hosted more than 8,000 people.
Combining the culinary and narrated tours, more than 10,000 people have
been hosted, to date. “I took the Narrated Bus Tour and enriched
it by adding food tastings which morphed into the Taste History Culinary Tours
of Historic Palm Beach County”, says Lori J. Durante
Offered year-round, the Taste
History is a four-hour food-centric narrated excursion of bus riding and four
to six blocks of walking through historic districts for alternate visits to
eateries, markets, and an urban farm for food history, food culture facts,
foodways information and food tastings. At least three to four eateries are
visited per Taste History tour along with trips to historic buildings, cultural
centers or art galleries. Tour guests meet
the restaurant owners and chefs; and directors and artists of the cultural
centers and art galleries. Florida history is narrated by a guide.
Other rankings are from the Huffington Post which designated Taste History as “…established food tours in Florida”. VisitFlorida said about Taste History “…the mission is both education and entertainment”. The international news agency The Culture Trip has included the Taste History Culinary Tours of Historic Palm Beach County in its roundup of Florida's 10 Best Food Festivals and Fiestas. Taste History landed in good company too. The Culture Trip is a global online news agency, showcasing the best of art, food, culture and travel for every country in the world.
