Palmer once and still is a bustling town. Known as the Town of Seven Railroads, we were the transportation hub. Still today, there are trains passing by daily. As you make your way to Palmer, the bridge you drove over was most likely over a railroad track and not a river. The bump in the road was a railroad track… but also maybe a pothole or two. No matter the hurdles, most roads lead to Palmer we say. Stretching across the United States is Route 20 that makes its way through town. Other major links includes Route 32 and Interstate 91, the MassPike. With its many crossroads, Palmer is a great place to bring people together.
On May 1st, Lamothe Block will be hosting an Artisan Emporium, where small businesses and artisans can sell their on-of-a-kind items to people near and far! We will be proposing more events in the future on this historic site, which we wish to bring to life! All vendor fees go directly towards the restoration progress of the Historic Olmsted Park.
The Lamothe Family and Steaming Tender staff would like to give recognition to Heather as our Employee of the Month. As you view her in her overall attire greeting guests and being attentive to your whole experience here, she has contributed to the vision and growth of other developments. Heather joined our team in late October of 2021 and has hopped on the train full speed ahead! With guests constantly impressed with her historical knowledge, what you may not know about Heather is that she is s jack of all trades.
Antique Junction, 1294 South Main Street, is located straight after the restaurants private drive, second building on the right. For the past month, Antique Junction has been under renovations and modernizations. Before Blake and Robin Lamothe opened the Steaming Tender Restaurant in 2004, they both were in the antique business … and still are today! With some fresh and young input from their daughters, they have brought new life to Antique Junction. Come find your piece of history or item to add to your collection. New items are inventoried daily!

We have news for you! The Lamothe Family and the Steaming Tender staff are excited to share our current developments, turning events, outstanding persons and future endeavors here!
We are excited to launch our leatherbound menu to folks dining with us today. Just before the pandemic struck our nation, we made an investment into the hardcover you are holding before your eyes. A week into launching… they were stowed away, and for the past two years have been stored in the hammered coppered trunk you possibly passed in the front foyer. The menu’s design was based on a collaboration of the architecture and antiquity you see throughout the building. The dark leather mimics the waiting bench in the front foyer, the brass tacking represents the studded luggage and trunks that were used for heavy travel and the engraved wooden logo matches the red oak you see climbing up the thirty-five-foot high ceilings.
Warm weather is around the corner, and we have plans for you! Live music under our canopy, almost every weekend… Artisan fairs, farmers markets & Christmas markets on Olmstead Park. A Beer and Wine Trolley tour throughout Western Massachusetts beginning right here on the premises of Lamothe Block, in Palmer, Mass. Stay right on track with all our latest event and updates through our website www.steamingtender.com and by following us on Facebook!

Baking Your Whiskey Bread Pudding at Home
Convection Oven Instructions:
Standard Oven Instructions:
Notes: Bake-at-home bread puddings are not pre-sauced, you will receive your sauce on the side to add to your bread pudding once it is cooked and sliced. All bake-at-home bread puddings come covered with plastic wrap and foil for baking.
The plastic wrap is tightly wrapped under the foil to allow for even cooking and must be left under the foil the plastic may melt around the edges of the pan, this is normal and can be removed when cooled.
Our bread pudding would be nothing without the signature whiskey butter sauce on top! To reheat your side of sauce, heat a small pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
The sauce will be a hard in the takeout container: using a spoon or spatula, scoop out the sauce and carefully place it in heated pot. Whisk or stir sauce constantly until butter and sugar are no longer separated and sugar is melted. Try a small sample before serving to ensure all the sugar is melted and your sauce is ready to amaze your guests!
