FOOD AND DRINK Love at First Bite Embark on a food-focused getaway A Cup of George George Washington Inn Port Angeles, Washington Many of us start our mornings with a good ‘ol cup of Joe – or is it a cup of George? According to Janet Abbott, co-owner of the George Washington Inn, there’s more to this nickname than we may have thought. “Every B&B needs coffee, so [when we opened] my husband did a little bit of research,” says Abbott. “He found an old coffee company called the G. Washington Coffee Company.” Long story short, it turns out George Washington invented instant coffee in the early 1900s! Not the George Washington, mind you, but still. World War I soldiers nicknamed the drink a “cup of George,” and, after that, the shift from George to Geo to Joe happened naturally – or so the story goes. And while the steady drum of time marches on, at least you can still order an authentic cup of George at the George Washington Inn. More on page 76 .
