The hoecake, a cornmeal-based breakfast food that resembles the pancake, was George Washington's favorite food. He liked his "swimming in butter in honey." Mount Vernon invited four area chefs to a hoecake cook-off in which they put their own spin on this colonial classic. Watch and see which rendition the General preferred.
Filmed, produced and narrated by Becca Milfeld.
