Culinary Arts Museum Review

This offbeat, fascinating museum on the Harborside campus of Johnson & Wales University celebrates the joy of cooking and eating throughout human history. See exhibits of vintage menus, an authentic 1920s diner, ancient Chinese culinary vessels, displays of mayonnaise makers, marshmallow beaters, other kitchen gadgets, and more. Check out the original letters by assorted past United States presidents to friends and food providers who supplied gourmet gifts on various occasions.
