Ben Franklin inventing the fried spagetti sandwich
(discuss.tchncs.de)
I'm obligated to mention that Thomas Jefferson imported the first pasta machine in the US, leading to this historically significant negative Yelp review:
Dined at the President's โ ... Dinner not as elegant as when we dined before. [Among other dishes] a pie called macaroni, which appeared to be a rich crust filled with the strillions of onions, or shallots, which I took it to be, tasted very strong, and not agreeable. Mr. Lewis told me there were none in it; it was an Italian dish, and what appeared like onions was made of flour and butter, with a particularly strong liquor mixed with them.
