[sp name='George_Crum']

• Inventor, Chef.
• Accidentally invented the potato chip in 1853 while he was working as a chef at the Cary Moon’s Lake House in Lake Saratoga, New York. The story says that a diner complained that the fries were too thick so Crum made thinner fries, the diner still complained. Crum then sliced the potato so thin they could not be picked up with a fork, to frustrate the  diner, but he loved them and the rest
  is history!
• Crum’s invention started to become known as Crum’s Saratoga Chips when other locals began to ask for them.
• After his invention, George opened his own restaurant called Crum’s House, near Saratoga Lake, which would have a basket of potato chips on every table.
• Even though George never patented his invention or sold it outside of his restaurant, it created thousands of jobs once the potato chip was to be sold in bags.
