The Chef Who Got Away: Hercules Posey — Food Origins

He was America's first celebrity chef. He ran George Washington's kitchen, fed presidents and diplomats, wore fine clothes, and made $200 a year selling leftovers — more than the white overseers.

And he was enslaved.

From a ferry on the Potomac to the bluffs of Mount Vernon to the President's House on High Street in Philadelphia — then the nation's capital — this is the true story of Hercules Posey. How Pennsylvania's 1780 freedom law almost freed him, how Washington rotated his enslaved staff to keep them in bondage, and why Hercules chose Washington's 65th birthday — February 22, 1797 — to walk away and never come back.

His daughter said it best: "No sir, I'm very glad, for he is free now."
