The hoecake, a cornmeal-based breakfast food that resembles the pancake, was George Washington’s favorite food. He liked his “swimming in butter in honey.” On February 18, Mount Vernon invited four area chefs to a hoecake cook-off in which they put their own spin on this colonial classic. Watch and see which rendition the General preferred.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
