Correction: We made a mistake! (who, us?) In the show, we mentioned Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. in connection with Mint Juleps and said he wasn't related to William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806). That's incorrect. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. was actually the grandson of the famous explorer William Clark. He's also known for being the founder of Churchill Downs, the racetrack where the Kentucky Derby is held.
