    2. He was very prominent in the food services industry, having begun working as a boy at a bakery.
    3. He began preparing, cooking and serving food, eventually opening two successful restaurants in the Boston area.
    4.In the late 1890s he owned and managed the Woodland Park Hotel in Newton, Massachusetts for 17 years.
    5.In 1902, as a way of maintaining an involvement in the food services industry, Lee opened a catering business called the Lee Catering Company.
    6.Lee became very frustrated at what he saw as a waste of bread which would have to be thrown out if it was as much as a day old.
    7.Lee had long believed that crumbs from bread was quite useful in preparing food, as opposed to cracker crumbs which many others favored. He decided that instead of simply throwing stale bread away.
    8.He was finally successful and patented the invention on June 4, 1895. He used the bread crumbs for various dishes including croquettes, batter for cakes, fried chops, fried fish and more.
    9.He soon sold the rights to his bread crumbling machine and the Royal Worcester Bread Crumb Company of Boston soon had the devices in major restaurants around the world.
    10.The machine was so fast and efficient it was able to perform the tasks of five or six men and did so more hygienically and at a much cheaper cost.

  3. My black inventor was George Crum here are 10 facts about him:
    -He was born George Speck in Malta, New York.
    -In 1860 Crum opened his own lakeside restaurant Crum's House in Malta.
    - Crum became a chef versions of fried potato slices were published in several cookbooks.
    -In 1832, a recipe for fried potato "shavings" was included in a United States cookbook derived from an earlier English collection.
    -George Crum has a wife, a father, a son, a daughter, a sister, another son, a mother.
    -Potato chips were originally called Saratoga Chips.
    - Crum was working as the chef in the summer of 1853 when he incidentally invented the chip.
    Here is how he came up with potato chips:)
    It all began when a patron who ordered a plate of French-fried potatoes sent them back to Crum's kitchen because he felt they were too thick and soft.

    To teach the picky patron a lesson, Crum sliced a new batch of potatoes as thin as he possibly could, and then fried them until they were hard and crunchy. Finally, to top them off, he added a generous heaping of salt. To Crum's surprise, the dish ended up being a hit with the patron and a new snack was born!

  4. George Crum
    Decades before Crum became a chef versions of fried potato slices were published in several cookbooks. In 1832, a recipe for fried potato "shavings" was included in a United States cookbook derived from an earlier English collection.Sliced potatoes cooked in hot oil and served with salt was a common dish before Crum's time. William Kitchiner's The Cook's Oracle , also included techniques for such a dish.Similarly, N.K.M. Lee's cookbook, The Cook's Own Book , has a recipe that is very similar to Kitchiner's. In.In later years, the popular Buckeye Cookery and Practical Housekeeping by Estelle Woods Wilcox, who was based in Indiana, was sold nationally and included a recipe for similar chips.
    The New York Tribune did a feature article on "Crum's: The Famous Eating House on Saratoga Lake" in December 1891, but mentioned nothing about potato chips. Neither did Crum's commissioned biography, published in 1893, nor did one 1914 obituary in a local paper. However, another obituary states "Crum is said to have been the actual inventor of "Saratoga chips."" At one time, stories circulated that Crum's sister, Katie Speck Wicks, or Moon's wife Harriet was responsible for the dish, but Bradley explicitly rejected these versions in his 1940 history of Saratoga

  14. Something on my game is that the players move.When the player moves it goes to objects and picks them up.When the object is picked up you get a point.As the point add up and you when you make it to five points,you head to the win screen.As for if you are killed three times you will head to the lose screen.There will also be an enemy that is going to try to chase after you.Also to make things harder there will be a timer.If the timer runs out that will also take you to the lose screen.
