Join Broward County Historian, Helen Landers in a fun, photographic presentation of Broward County’s restaurants at the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, Broward County Main Library, 100 South Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13, 2012.
 
From the 1900s to the 1980s, each community in Broward welcomed signature restaurants that gave their area a definite edge.  Over the years, diners have been able to choose from a variety of foods and restaurants rich in culinary heritage and tradition.  These places made Broward County feel like home.
 
Following the presentation on Broward County’s restaurants will be a brief talk on Floribbean cooking (foods indigenous to Florida with a touch of Caribbean seasoning) and a tasting from Don Arturo.

Participants will also enjoy viewing the exhibit “Bountiful Broward: Eating in South Florida, 1880s – 1980s.

Bountiful Broward: Eating in South Florida, 1880s – 1980s is open to the public from December 7, 2011 to March 31, 2012 at the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, Broward County Main Library, 6th floor.
 
The exhibition traces Broward County’s history through cookbooks, menus, photographs, postcards, kitchen collectibles, books, and rare artifacts.  South Florida’s cuisine has been shaped by many cultures, strengthened by the bounty of the land and waters, and transformed by developments in agricultural practices and food processing. Bountiful Broward shows food items and cooking trends that define the County’s eating and dining traditions.
