In "George Crum And The Saratoga Chip," author Gaylia Taylor tells the captivating story of George Crum, a talented African American chef in the 19th century. Working at a popular resort in Saratoga Springs, Crum faces a demanding customer who complains about the thickness of his fried potatoes. In a moment of inspiration, Crum slices the potatoes paper-thin, fries them to a crisp, and creates the first potato chip: the Saratoga Chip. This delightful tale celebrates creativity, perseverance, and the importance of culinary innovation, while also highlighting the historical context of Crum's achievements in a racially divided America.
