The Declaration’s principal drafter and the third president.
Documented meal / preference
Jefferson left notes about pasta, and Manasseh Cutler recorded a macaroni dish at his table in 1802. Our baked cheese sauce is a modern interpretation of that documented connection.
The president & the table
Jefferson’s interest in food left unusually tangible evidence. His papers preserve an ice-cream recipe and notes about macaroni. Dinner guest Manasseh Cutler recorded a macaroni dish at the presidential table in 1802. These were pleasures served to guests, not inventions Jefferson personally introduced to the world.
