The Keyflower Dining Room,
Divine Tracy Hotel, Philadelphia, PA
The well known Keyflower Dining Room at the Divine Tracy Hotel located in the heart of University City is the talk of the Delaware Valley because it serves the very best. FATHER DIVINE has always served the Best for the least. In the early 30s right on up through to the 60s FATHER DIVINE was known for serving the financially and socially underprivileged. FATHER DIVINE today is still serving those who are underprivileged nutritionally and spiritually but also the over privileged financially and socially.
The customers keep increasing as they learn about a place to eat that is clean, safe and inexpensive. They consider this is their dining room and they are aware of who comes in to dine and how they conduct themselves.
They are very appreciative to FATHER and MOTHER for the Woodmont well water and the abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit from the Holy Ground.
Self service has worked out very well for our patrons and for the Keyflower Dining Room. The salad bar is a picture story in itself with such a variety of vegetables and home made sprouts. A variety of salad dressings is a "topper".
As it was said by one, FATHER DIVINE is serving a Sermon of Vegetables, freshly steamed as they are consumed. Each day more and more of our customers are turning to vegetarian foods, which are prepared and seasoned in such a way that it draws the people to this dining room.
Chicken, turkey and fish are prepared in various ways that are very palatable. Freshly homemade biscuits, corn bread, popovers and muffins are an attraction. A rotation of dairy free biscuits and dairy free carrot muffins is much appreciated..
The desserts are baked with whole wheat pastry flour and natural sweeteners and some are dairy free and can compete in looks with any food magazine yet with all the nutrients preserved. FATHER DIVINE said HE would be the "table talk of the world" and we do have those from every nation in the world dining at the Keyflower Dining Room.
Many times customers will rush into the Keyflower and tell us that MOTHER DIVINE just walked into the hotel and they hope to see Her in the dining room for lunch. The real treat is seeing FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE dine in the Keyflower and the many diners that go over to Their table to speak with them.
FATHER and MOTHER'S table is always set reminding us of the little Kobold sitting behind the table saying, "Take all you want but don't forget the Best", the Blesser. HIS thoughts are expressed on the pallets on both walls of the dining room as well as on the monthly menu. Also the Peace Mission Tenets and other publications are there for the people to take and read and get an introduction to what FATHER DIVINE is really all about. There are customers that have come to FATHER DIVINE'S dining rooms for 30, 40 and 50 years and every change of season brings new people form all over the world and all walks of life that have never heard the name of FATHER DIVINE.
Several customers have said to the effect that "We come in for the eats that are great and cheap but we really come in because we know this is GOD'S House and we can meditate while we eat."
The Science Center employees also appreciate the quiet of the dining room where they can have their business conference lunches.
The Keyflower Dining Room is also listed on the Internet since 1998 under Philadelphia USA in their Premier Edition for tourists, business travelers, students and residents. It says:
