Thayer's
chef and owner,
Sharon
Gammell 
Like Caroline Thayer
in 1895 (Thayer's first lady), Sharon Gammell is a talented hostess
and chef who is happy to accommodate her guests with a
flexible menu, wonderful staff and extraordinary surroundings.
Sharon Gammell is a self-taught
gourmet chef of 30 plus years. She has had
successful restaurants in Saint Paul and
Minneapolis, Minnesota and over the years has
catered to groups as small as 2 and as large as
1,500. Her psychic career spans 38 years plus also,
and she has clients thru-out the United States. Sharon offers private readings and
classes in
psychic awareness.
In 1993, when Gammell's
purchased the Thayer, the dining area was still managed
by another party. Finally in late December 1994, they were able to incorporate the dining area into
the bed & breakfast and offer guests an
outstanding dining experience. Dining at Thayer's had become an event!
The food style, taste and
presentations at Thayer's are amazing. Gammell cooks without
recipes and has an eye and imagination for
delightful twists to tempt your palate. She can
take the ordinary to new and extraordinary.
Preferring traditional to trendy, her food takes
on a comfortable and familiar persona, but don't
be fooled, her food is not traditional.
As the owner of Thayer's,
Sharon Gammell wears many hats. She is an
innkeeper, psychic, chef, bookkeeper, decorator, maid, supervisor, wedding officiate, and perfectionist
so, whether she happens to be making you hot chocolate or a
coffee, cooking your dinner, doing a reading, making your
bed, or serving your breakfast, rest assured
everything will meet her high standards.
