Bowen’s Inn: A Taste of Solomons History

Step back in time as No Thyme to Cook celebrates the flavors and memories of the legendary Bowen's Inn. 🌊 Long before Solomons became the destination it is today, Bowen's Inn welcomed generations of locals, boaters, and visitors to its tables.

This class is especially close to our hearts. Chef Gwyn's mother grew up in the restaurant, where family life revolved around the kitchen, the dining room, and the waterfront. Together, mother and daughter will share stories, memories, and recipes inspired by some of Bowen's Inn's most beloved dishes—favorites that kept guests coming back year after year and remain cherished family traditions today.

Join us for an evening of delicious food, local history, and heartfelt storytelling as we honor one of Solomons' most iconic gathering places—one unforgettable bite at a time. 🍽️
