She-Crab Soup In the 1920s Mayor Rhett, of Charleston, SC, was expecting a visit from President William Taft during his tour of Charleston. Wanting to do something special for the President, Mayor Rhett asked his butler, William Deas, to “dress up” their typical crab soup. His presidential variation featured orange crab eggs, giving the soup bright color and great taste. As this recipe notes, She-Crabs are known to be real delicacy because they have much more taste than their male counterpart, He-Crabs. The orange-hued eggs of she-crabs give the soup extra flavor and color. The John Rutledge House continues this tradition.
