Redux Social Hour Thursday: this week we are honoring Benjamin Franklin and his Franklin stove invented on this date in 1742. Mr. Franklin created a new design way back when, and, amazingly, most American fireplaces still utilize his box shaped creation today. What we love the most about old Ben was his desire to have stoves available to everyone which he accomplished by refusing to patent his invention. “…that as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.” This Thursday, let Chef Tate serve you from a stove distantly related to Mr. Franklin’s invention a meal of Pork Scallopini with Lemon Caper Piccata. We hope you join us and sure wish Benji could as well.
