As Taste History ushers in year 2014, one of the highlights of year 2013 was a private Taste History Culinary Tour hosted for members of the Deaf Sunshine Red Hat Gals. The epicurean cultural tour of Lake Worth and Lantana took place on Monday, February 4, 2013. The members of this Red Hat club were mostly born deaf and have the amazing ability of sign-language and lip reading. In 2012, these Gals took the Taste History tour that traveled in Delray Beach and Boynton and they enjoyed the experience immensely which resulted in them scheduling a historical food tasting tour of Lake Worth and Lantana.

About 20 members of the Deaf Sunshine Red Hat Gals were on the culinary tour. They all gathered at Macy's Boynton Beach and from there the tour took off to Downtown Lake Worth and the Town of Lantana, Florida. Taste History journeyed to Sabal Palm House Bed & Breakfast, the Java Juice Bar, Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, Brogues Down Under, Maryanne Webber Gallery and the Tortilleria Gallo de Oro in Lake Worth. The finale was a bus trip to George’s Meat Market and Le Petit French Bakery both in the Lantana Center Plaza in the Town of Lantana.

The club members are active adults who retired to Broward and Palm Beach Counties coming from California, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. Their professional careers have defied the misperceptions about the deaf community because they have been gainfully employed as college professors, school principals, teachers, computer operators and business owners. They've held professional positions at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.; the American School for the Deaf in Connecticut; JOB in New York City; IBM in Boca Raton, Florida; Port Authority at the World Trade Center in New York; FBI in Washington, D.C.; American Sign Language in Washington, D.C.; WRS Motion Picture Lab in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Lockheed-Martin and AT&T.
