The
Taste History Culinary Tours of Historic Palm
Beach County held on August 9, 2014 had a super time as it made its way to Lake
Worth and Lantana, Florida.
The
sold-out tour visited old favorites while inaugurating two new partners Suri Tapas Bar
and Hoffman's
Chocolates both in Downtown Lake Worth.
Suri's
chef John Kuropatwa worked his culinary magic with a delectable tapas tasting.
He says "They are stuffed figs! We take goat cheese roll it in
pistachios and stuff the figs with that and then wrap them in prosciutto, grill
them and place them on top of a house made fig jam and finish it off with a fig
ensued balsamic reduction."
The Taste History Culinary Tours are available to the general public on the second, third and fourth Saturdays of each month. Pre-payment is required.

| Tapas was on top at Suri Tapas Bar in Downtown Lake Worth for the Taste History Culinary Tour |
The
origin of tapas cuisine is tied to the Andalusia region of Spain and
the word means appetizer or small plates.

| Five chocolate dessert tastings at Hoffman's Chocolates in Downtown Lake Worth for the Taste History Culinary Tour. |
Following
the Suri Tapas Bar, the tour was hosted at Hoffman's Chocolates in Downtown Lake
Worth. Established in 1975, Hoffman's is Palm Beach County's very own
chocolate factory which opened its current store front and ice cream
parlor in the heart of Downtown, Lake Worth on Lake Avenue. They returned to
their roots with re-opening this shop last year in Lake Worth.
The
Taste History tour's mission is to feature food tastings with history
learning and art viewing. In Lake Worth, former slaves Samuel and Fannie
James were the first pioneers homesteading in 1887 on land they purchased
through the Homestead Act. Fannie James established the first
Post Office n Lake Worth naming the area Jewel, pre-dating the Lake
Worth's incorporation in 1913. The Town of Lantana was settled around the
same time too in 1889 with Mr. M.B. Lyman of Lambton County, Ontario who
acquired land through the Armed Occupation Act. Mr. Lyman set-up the
first Post Office in the area and originally named it Lantana Point because the
Lantana flower was growing wild in the area, at that time.
Both
Lake Worth and Lantana have eateries with localized tastings. On this
day, Taste History also traveled to the Sabal Palm House Bed & Breakfast for tea
and scones; Mother Earth Sanctuary Café for vegan
cuisines; South Shores Tavern and Patio Bar for steak and
nachos appetizer; the Java Juice Bar for smoothies; Brogues Down
Under for sausage rolls and Pavlova Pie; Lake Worth Art League Gallery, Artisans of
the Ave Gallery, the A-Wall Murals, the LULA Arts District and
the Cheese
& Wine Café for the gourmet rice bowl and French coffee.
The Going A-Wall
Murals project was organized by Bruce Webber Gallery in Downtown Lake Worth and
features murals by artists Trek Six and Ruben Ubiera.
