Following up on his successful sleeping “hotel” cars of the 1860s, George Pullman invented the first
Railroad Dining Car
, starting a century-long tradition of the
Pullman Company
providing its passengers with restaurant-quality meals on rails.
This is the first telling of the story of Pullman’s dining service, with colorful menus, tasteful china and silver, popular recipes, and extensive interviews with retired Pullman chefs and waiters who served opera singers, actors, businessmen, and even the President of the United States.
Authors Mulligan, Tilp, and Zimmermann explore the history, equipment, food, and people that made this unique era of travel possible.
Tilp also covers the story of his company’s 1968 purchase of the Pullman restaurant-sleeper
Lotos Club
and the subsequent restoration and operation of what remains the most authentically restored Pullman car in the United States.
Recipes for numerous classic Pullman meals and a selection of complete, historic Pullman menus round out this definitive volume on Pullman’s culinary legacy.
Softbound, Shrinkwrapped, 11x8.5, 172 pages, numerous b&w and color photos.
