    The Ben Franklin

    Honey-glazed fig & brie crostini with thyme

    For the man who adored French cuisine

    The Story

    Benjamin Franklin — inventor, diplomat, writer, and founding father — spent nearly a decade in Paris, where he fell deeply in love with French food and wine. He charmed the French court with his wit while savoring their cheeses, pastries, and preserved fruits. Franklin famously said, 'Wine is constant proof that God loves us and wants us to see us happy.' This honey-glazed fig and brie crostini is a tribute to his Francophile palate and boundless appetite for the good life.
