KFC: "COLONEL SANDERS - HERO" North America Restaurant Tip by DAO

COLONEL HARLAND DAVID SANDERS – (NORTH) AMERICAN HERO.
Harland Sanders tried and failed at many jobs all the way into his 40’s. He was a soldier, railroad fireman steamboat driver, insurance salesman, farmer and much later a cook. He worked hard and never gave up trying to become a success. In 1930 he ran a gas station (petrol garage) in Corbin Kentucky and began to cook for travellers. His experiments with spices and pressure cookers led to chicken that was cooked faster and is "finger lickin' good"!

His cooking became so popular it has become a global phenomenon. Often imitated but never successfully copied, his Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants now serve people from 32,500 locations in more than 100 countries and territories.

He was made a Colonel of Kentucky in 1935 – the state’s highest honour.

They just don’t make ‘em like the Colonel anymore.

His original restaurant (pictured) in Corbin is still operating today.
