by M.M. Cloutier
Yesterday, 21 concierges from area resorts embarked on an excursion to Lake Worth and Lantana historic districts to get a taste of an increasingly popular tour experience centered, in large part, on restaurants and food.
In between visits to two historic bed-and-breakfast inns and three art galleries, they sampled signature menu items at South Shores Tavern, The Juice Bar, Brogues Downunder, and Tortilleria de Gallo
