Remembering Lafayette's Sacrifices

Overview

Lafayette is portrayed as the dashing young French General at Washington’s side. We forget the misery and heartache Lafayette’s support of America’s cause brought him in France, where he and his wife ended up penniless, dishonored and imprisoned. In contrast, his American victory tour of 1824 was a sold-out event wherever he went. In this episode, Chef Staib pays tribute to Gen. Lafayette by making a very French meal of Tripe Soup, Roasted Sweetbreads and Creamed Savoy Cabbage.
