"AS HIGHLY ACCOMPLISHED A PROFICIENT IN THE CULINARY ART AS COULD BE FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES": The Philadelphia Inquirer invested considerable resources (and its printed front page) to allow Craig LaBan to tell the story of Hercules, George Washington's master chef -- and his slave. Great reading on a Sunday, with more to come tomorrow.

    Thanks for the heads-up, Adam.  Great article.  I happen to be teaching early American history this semester and just passed the link on to my students.
