A regular item on the menu was fried potatoes, an idea that started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were into thick slices. One day, a dinner guest sent his fried potatoes back the chef because he did not like them so thick. So, Mr. Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. Mr. Crum was very angry. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them.
