[FROM THE INTRODUCTION] Two centuries ago the word went out, probably from Bethlehem in the colony of Pennsylvania. Twenty years later the word had spread throughout the colonies, for soldiers have a way of finding out where there is good food, congressional delegates like to eat, and travelers make a specialty of eating.
The word went out that the people of southeastern Pennsylvania were the best cooks in the colonies.
In 1758 the Moravian citizens of Bethlehem had built an inn. A year or so later it was licensed by King George II. From the very beginning the Sun Inn was successful; before long it was famous. Travelers said there was no better food this side of London and perhaps not there.
