"The salt potato may not be America’s first great culinary invention. But it’s likely one of the first to get its own historic marker.

The [URL='https://www.wgpfoundation.org/']Syracuse-based William G. Pomeroy Foundation[/URL], the people behind those blue roadside historic markers scattered across the state, is launching a nationwide campaign this summer to erect markers highlighting the notable moments in American food and cuisine.

The program, funded entirely by the foundation, is called [URL='https://www.wgpfoundation.org/history/hungry-for-history/']Hungry for History.[/URL]

The program’s first such marker in the country will be erected in Syracuse to note the origins of the salt potato, that staple of Central New York summer fun. The exact location will be revealed Thursday during a [URL='https://www.facebook.com/willowrockbrew/photos/a.944154535666498/4068920536523200/']4 to 6 p.m. launch party [/URL]for the program at [URL='http://willowrockbrew.com/']Willow Rock Brewing Co.[/URL]...Installation will be July 7.

...The Pomeroy Hungry for History markers are black with raised yellow lettering. They are 32- by 18-inches an sit atop a 7-foot pole.

Each markers cost about $1,200, including shipping, Deryn Pomeroy said. The cost is fully paid by the foundation."
