10.1 Yellow Fever In the summer of 1793, Yellow Fever wiped out ten percent of the population. People of means escaped, leaving their African-American slaves behind to tend to the sick. The slaves cared for their patients so selflessly that the city awarded them two churches in thanks--the first African-American owned properties in America. Chef Staib cooks Citrus Marinated Salmon with an Eggplant Dore in their honor.

10.1 Betsy Ross Sews A Legend Betsy Ross is one the most celebrated woman in American history.

Washington to defy the British and secretly give our nation its identity. Chef Staib prepares Lobster and Corn Fritters and Baked Veal Chops with Braised Artichokes in Betsy's honor.

LaFayette by making a very French meal of Tripe Soup, Roasted Sweetbreads and Creamed Savoy Cabbage.
