The Brooklyn Sandwich & Lemonade Showdown is a Black foodways event: sandwich makers have the option of remixing sandwiches invented or popularized by Black people.
The Lemonade Showdown is dedicated to John T. White, a Black inventor who patented an improved lemon squeezer in 1896 (U.S. Patent No. 572,849) — the basic form of which is still built into lemon squeezers today. His invention simplified squeezing lemons and making lemonade. We call him the "Invisible Inventor," since no verifiable image of John T. White survives.
