Featured Project: Food & Beverage People

This week we highlight the Food & Beverage People project, which features individuals who have made significant impacts in the food industry. Their successes have contributed a wide array of food and beverages that we all still enjoy today. There are already 17 profiles included in this project. Perhaps  you’ll want to help add some more people whose creations have satisfied our stomachs!

Take a look at a few of the profiles included:

Will Kellogg – He was the founder of Kellogg’s cereal company. His invention of corn flaked cereal forever changed the way Americans ate breakfast.

Colonel Sanders – He was the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, a popular fast food restaurant chain.
