I learned of this from what was, most definitely, the blog of someone who did not care for the Simplot Empire:"J.R. Simplot, French fry innovator, blew his porchlight Sunday, aged 99."NOT how I would like to be eulogized.
"Blew his porchlight?" That's not very nice. I had to say something 'bout the man's passing, though, given how much money I've spent eating his tasty creation.Mmmm...French fries...
There's a big chapter on him and how he got started in the book, Fast Food Nation. Pretty interesting. Thanks for letting us know, Christie. I missed it in the news.
