LOS ANGELES — Holiday travel is notorious for being hectic – in fact, according to Amtrak, Thanksgiving is its busiest travel week of the year*. Eager to transform one of the biggest holiday stresses into an enjoyable experience, King’s Hawaiian – makers of the #1 branded dinner roll in the U.S. and a must-have for any holiday feast – is harnessing its dinner table magic to help travelers get into the holiday spirit earlier this year.
Holiday travelers are invited to join a complimentary charter train from either Philadelphia to New York City or New York City to Boston – or stop by 30th Street Station (Philadelphia), Penn Station (NYC) or South Station (Boston) – to indulge in a pre-Thanksgiving meal in a stationary King’s Hawaiian dining car at one of these stations. Holiday revelers will be treated to a one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving meal in memorable dining cars that will give them quite the story – and plenty of rolls – to share around the table during the holiday.
Whether in a breadbasket at the center of the table or for creating the ultimate next-day leftover slider, King’s Hawaiian Rolls are a perfect, versatile addition to any holiday meal. Showcasing all the delectable ways to enjoy King’s Hawaiian this holiday season, Roll Home in Style railway travelers will be treated to a Thanksgiving-inspired menu throughout their northeast journey. Courses will include a garden salad made with King’s Hawaiian croutons, a Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich between King’s Hawaiian Rolls and a King’s Hawaiian Pumpkin Bread Pudding for dessert.
