DUNCAN HINES 60th Anniversary

In the 1940s, Duncan Hines was a traveling salesman turned food critic, who through his books became the authority on quality food. In 1935, Duncan and his wife, Florence, compiled a list of 167 recommended establishments and sent it out as a Christmas present. He wrote: "I am passing this information on to you, hoping that it may yield enjoyment and delectation, should you find yourself in the vicinity of one of these 'harbors of refreshment' as you travel hither and yon." Ms. Marissa Butler will join me to share about the life of this extraordinary man and the museum that preserves his story.
