"Step back in time as culinary historian and author Sarah Lohman explores the history of gin and why it was the alcohol of choice during Prohibition. She’ll cover stories specific to the “rum” runner of the north coast of Long Island.
We’ll take a look at the Hidden Bar inside Coe Hall, built just as the Prohibition Amendment became law. Beverage expert Jordan Lari of 2 Spring restaurant in Oyster Bay will also lead us in a special gin cocktail demonstration from behind his own bar.
Sarah Lohman is a culinary historian and the author of the bestselling book Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine. She focuses on the history of food as a way to access the stories of diverse Americans. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, as well as on All Things Considered; and she has presented across the country, from the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, DC to The Culinary Historians of Southern California. Her current project, Endangered Eating: Exploring America’s Vanishing Cuisine will be released with W.W. Norton & Co. in 2021."
