The Linguica with eggs was sublime

On Saturday, November 10th, a crack team of 9 students and 5 faculty members hit the road for Providence, Rhode Island. We pulled up to the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University at 10am and, after stepping out of the High School van, participants were given sketchbook journals with which to record their visit. Once inside, the group was greeted by Richard J.S. Gutman, the museum's curator and noted Diner Historian. His book, "American Diner: Then And Now" is, in my opinion, essential reading for any diner enthusiast.

A personalized tour of the museum's diner exhibit followed, and the day was capped off by lunch at the nearby Seaplane Diner. After feasting on tasty Portuguese Linguica sausage, I ordered up a short stack of pancakes and sunk my fork into its mound of syrupy goodness. The coffee was gloriously potent.

After our meal, we headed back to Dover-Sherborn. Our first field trip had been a rousing success, and it all came down to the awesome group of students and faculty members who've signed on for this crazy one-of-a-kind project. Viva La Arts Diner!
