You can read all about him and his seminal influence on hospitality in the United States by reading Stephen Fried's book Appetite for America.

Peel cooked sweet potatoes, slice one-quarter inch thick and brown in hot lard. Alternate in buttered deep dish with slices of pineapple. Cover with maple syrup and bake in oven for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. (Can also substitute sliced banana for pineapple, or use both for Sweet Potatoes Sovereign; can also add walnuts or chestnuts.)
