ELLA’S FAST FACTS:

* The state of Kansas produces enough wheat annually to bake thirty-six billion loaves of bread.

* An acre of wheat can make enough bread to feed 9,000 people for an entire day.

Without JOSEPH LEE, we might never have had fried chicken. He didn’t invent fried chicken. He didn’t even invent the bread crumbs that coat fried chicken. What he did invent was the machine that makes bread and the machine that makes bread crumbs.

Despite his humble upbringing in Boston, he rose from his job as a bakery boy to become the owner of two successful restaurants, as well as a catering business for the wealthy, and the operator of a summer resort. In 1895, he patented the idea for a machine that would grind stale, otherwise unusable bread into crumbs to be used in cooking. After that, he invented a bread-making machine that made bread faster than six people could and more cheaply. Both machines are the basis for thousands of similar machines used around the world today.
