Wednesday, February 8 at 7 PM

Historian Dave Clark tells the story through words, photos and music of how our favorite dining establishments evolved from Fred Harvey railroad dining cars and urban lunch counters. These trends began in urban centers, such as Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago, and spread across the country along rail lines and highways. From carhops to cookie-cutter franchises, from familiar foods to unique eats, this program will satisfy a thirst for knowledge and leave you hungry for more!
