George Crum, born George Speck on July 15, 1824, was an American chef of African American and Native American descent. He is best known for his role in the creation of potato chips. Here are some key highlights of his life and achievements:

  1. Early Life: Crum was born in Saratoga County, New York. He worked as a hunter, guide, and cook in the Adirondack Mountains before becoming a chef.
  2. Culinary Career: Crum gained fame while working at Moon’s Lake House, a high-end restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. It was here that he is credited with inventing potato chips, reportedly in response to a customer’s complaint about thick-cut French fries.
  3. Potato Chip Legend: According to popular legend, Crum sliced potatoes paper-thin, fried them to a crisp, and seasoned them with salt to appease a demanding customer. The result was a hit, and the dish became known as “Saratoga Chips”.
  4. Entrepreneurship: In 1860, Crum opened his own restaurant, Crum’s House, in Malta, New York. His establishment was popular among wealthy tourists and known for its delicious potato chips.
  5. Legacy: Although the exact origin of potato chips is debated, Crum’s contributions to American cuisine are widely recognized. He passed away on July 22, 1914, leaving behind a legacy as a culinary innovator.
