George worked as a chef at a posh resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. A dinner guest thought George's french fries were too thick for his liking and refused the order. To annoy the guest Crum decided to make the fries too thin and crunchy. But seeing the paper-thin fries, the guest was overjoyed and other guests present also started requesting Crum's fries.
