A Taste of History - Season 2 Episode 8 Yellow Fever
In the summer of 1793, a terrible plague swept through Philadelphia. Yellow Fever wiped out ten percent of the population. People of means escaped, leaving their African-American slaves behind to tend to the sick. The slaves cared for their patients so selflessly that the city awarded them two churches in thanks – the first African-American owned properties in America. The plague was also the reason Dolley Madison end up a First Lady. Find out how on this most remarkable episode, as Chef Staib cooks Citrus Marinated Salmon with an Eggplant Doré.
