@cookinwithcongress: Eating like Ulysses S Grant for an entire day. This man loved his cigars, so much so that they were undoubtedly a partial case of his eventual death in his early 60s. What an odd day — cigar city, a little whiskey (but less than you think), extreme-well-done steak, bread balls, two fish and a silly amount of coffee. You can usually smell the military folks who went into the White House, the coffee amounts are HIGH. I’m singing the praises of flannel cakes forever, by the way. Recipe coming soon for sure. #TikTokLearningCampaign #USHistory #foodreview

if he cut out the cigars, his diet actually wasnt that bad compared to the other presidents.

The reasoning behind the well done steak is STELLAR. I hate to imagine all that he had seen. Love your videos.

“8 small cups of coffee” would be it for me. You’re so brave 🤣

THANK YOU for dispelling the “Grant was a drunk” myth. He’s one of America’s greatest heroes

Some day when you need a "break" you should put together the most diabolical single day of meals you could make from all the presidents. That breakfast would have to be up there.

Thank you for mentioning that the “drunkard Grant” image comes from anti-Grant propaganda mostly from south. Was true during the war as well from other generals trying to lower his popularity to increase theirs.

Usually I have nothing but contempt for a well done steak, but his reasoning was valid. I imagine he saw enough red stuff to last him 3 lifetimes.

the food part really isn't bad, just the drinks and the cigars are a problem

My grandmother’s father and uncles were all military officers and I remember how she learnt to cook these steaks into a leather sole💀

Ulysses S Grant is one of my favorite historical figures. Excellent horseman, fine writer, loving husband & dad, humble, geographic/map whiz. Etc….
