Caramel Popcorn Day
April 7, 2016
Popcorn is an amazing food, and a delightful treat, capable of being so many different forms of things. From the traditional buttered popcorn, to the colorful Saran wrapped candy popcorn balls that used to be given out by little ol’ Grandmas everywhere at Halloween, this hot popped corn treat has found its way into every avenue of our culture. But this is a day is dedicated to that very special form of popcorn, favorite of people everywhere for over a hundred years – Caramel Popcorn Day!
Caramel popcorns history goes back 150 years, and the treat became so popular in the 100 years after its creation that Caramel Popcorn shops pretty much guaranteed a steady supply of income to those who invested in one. During this time it wasn’t unusual to see vendors of this delicious treat on busy street corners, where streetcars and bus lines came through. Eventually it found its way into the midway, and has been a staple of carnival and fair treats ever since.
Indulge a little and join Chef James and team in the cafe for a special treat.
