An authentic taste of Boston follows at the historic Omni Parker House Hotel with a unique presentation of Boston Creme Pie from Executive Pastry Chef Gerry Tice.  As this timeless dessert was invented in the kitchen of the renowned Omni Parker House, no one prepares this singular sensation quite the way they do.The grand finish of the delectable tour is provided by The Langham Hotel Boston's exceptional Chocolate Bar Buffet, with Executive Pastry Chef Alex Luna showcasing more than 125 enticing, all-you-can-eat, whipped, frozen, sculpted and baked chocolate delicacies. As the trolley travels from location to location, Chocolate Tour Conductors will share mouth-watering chocolate-related trivia, including tid-bits such as: Chocolate was originally a luxury of the wealthy.  Boston apothecaries began to sell chocolate in the mid 1700’s based on a belief that it was beneficial to one's health. The country's first chocolate factory was located in Dorchester, MA.  Tollhouse Cookies were invented by Ruth Wakefield at Whitman's Tollhouse Restaurant. The chocolate used in making Oreo's is manufactured in  Mansfield, MA. Halloween generates the greatest sale of chocolate each year, followed by Easter, Christmas–Hanukkah–New Year's, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.  Hershey produces more than 33 million chocolate kisses every day. The process known as dutching darkens chocolate, which contrary to popular belief, gives the chocolate a milder flavor
