the White Drum in 1935/36. The restaurant was run by Shovan and later her son,
Stephen, until 1970, when it was sold to Robert and James Minichiello. Robert
was manager, his wife, Lorraine, was hostess, and James was chef. In 1975, The
Drum and Chef James' culinary skills were featured in a segment of "The Elder
American" television program for channel 27. That same year, Boston Globe food
and wine critic Anthony Spinazzola gave the restaurant three stars in his "Let's Eat Out" column. The Minichiello's ran The Drum until 1976. Currently,
it is an Asian food restaurant.
