Fans of the dish have included Franklin D. Roosevelt, who encountered country captain while visiting the Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. Roosevelt introduced it to George S. Patton, and it was Patton's love for the dish which subsequently resulted in it being added in his honor to the U.S. Army's Meal, Ready-to-Eat field rations in 2000. A variety of Southern chefs have recipes for the dish, including Paul Prudhomme, Paula Deen and Emeril Lagasse. The dish was featured on an episode of "Throwdown! with Bobby Flay" in season 6 guest-starring Matt and Ted Lee. It also appeared on the BBC One cooking show, "Saturday Kitchen", with chef Atul Kochhar cooking the regular chicken and rice version of the dish.
