Bennett Rea began experimenting with unusual political recipes from the South Dakota Centennial Cookbook after sharing humorous moments with his grandmother-in-law. His project, Cookin' With Congress, evolved into a challenge where he consumed meals from various politicians, including an extreme day mimicking William Howard Taft's 8,200 calorie diet. The experience revealed the flavors and effects of these diets. Rea originally ranked presidents by palate but anticipates a new ranking based on his culinary experiments and the challenges he faced, such as the difficulty of consuming possum.
