National Brownie Day Quotes and Captions
Celebrating National Brownie Day at its basic level can be very simple – eat some brownies!
We have the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago to thank for both the creation and naming of the brownie. One of the hotel owners, Bertha Palmer, asked the house chef to create a cake-like dessert in a box lunch.
The box lunches were for guests to bring to the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. The chef created the brownie. The Palmer House Brownie was its original name.
A different origin story states that a homemaker invented the brownie in Bangor, Maine. Around 1900, a young woman struggled to make a chocolate cake that wouldn’t rise. She served it anyway, and it was a hit. Several recipes for Bangor Brownies made their way into cookbooks by 1904.
Like many unofficial National Days of celebration, no one knows who created National Brownie Day. It had to be a group of people who love brownies and their wonderful chocolatey goodness.
