Birthplace of KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN & COLONEL SANDERS Museum! Corbin KY 

My late grandma used to make chicken like his. She did it in the pressure cooker with the spices, and its nothing like the modern KFC chicken. They changed the recipe when he sold the company and Colonel Sanders hated that.

Having met Colonel Sanders when I was a teenager in the 1970s, I've always appreciated his success story. And I still have the autographed picture he gave me!

Love Colonel Sanders but unfortunately nothing tastes as good as it used to...

The man was a marketing genius. More than their chicken, I have always loved KFC’s mashed potatoes and gravy. My ultimate trash comfort food ❤

Enjoyed the tour of the museum. It's so nice to see these attractions I can't visit in person. Great to see Scott Michaels too. Safe travels and looking forward to Route 66.

I loved this vlog! We will be traveling to Kentucky in the fall and although this will be a couple hours out of our way I think it will be a great stop on the way home. Thank you for sharing!

I love the history behind KY Fried Chix. Seems that everything now is a chain or franchise that never even started out on a Mom/Pop level like the old days.

I remember Col Harland Sanders when i was a kid. He was one character for sure. Very nice guy.

As always, I surely thank you for doing what you do and taking us along where I would never see if it wasn't for you. Love KFC

This was a great video!! The museum was fun to watch! I like that everything was saved and shown with much care!! Yummm!!

Bring back lots memories born in Kentucky thanks Jordan

Thank you for this episode. My mother remembers eating at the restaurant in Corbin. She was born in Harlan KY, not far away. She lived in a coal mining camp on the KY-VA border. They would stop there in Corbin on their to Cincinnati to visit family on my grandfather's side of the family. Good memories for her. She is now 85 years young. My grandfather worked for Peabody Coal Co. Her whole family are from eastern Ky.

I did not miss a day of watching your blog I'm a big fan and this is in my hometown and the next time you're in this area I love to meet you and back in the 60s my great aunt work for the Sanders Cafe

I worked at Winston Products in Louisville for over 10 years. That is where the KFC Pressure fryers are made. The founder Winston Shelton worked with Col Sanders to develop the Pressure Fryer and partnered with him to make them. To this day the most of the KFC stores still use the Collectramatic Pressure Fryer from Winston. Some of the franchise stores use Henny Penny or Hobart fryers who have tried to mimic the Winston Fryer but the corporate stores are still contracted with Winston to this day. Actually all of Yum brands are contracted with Winston because they also make CVAP holding cabinets and Ovens to cook and hold food for serving. Winston Shelton passed away just a few years ago and was still coming to work almost every single day in his 90s until he passed. Pretty cool history that goes alongside KFC and Colonel Sanders that most people aren't aware of.

Jordan, you never disappoint with your vlogs! I never realized the Colonel was born in Henryville, Indiana! He was a Hoosier! Wonderful to see the history of an American success story! He worked hard and gave back. He was the example of solid Midwest values! He was not without his flaws but improved himself. Thank you, Jordan for this vlog! Be safe! Can't wait to see Route 66!

Thanks Jordan 😊 I am sure that is a place i never would have seen if it wasn't for you.

Back in my neck of woods Jordan. Another great vlog. ~Love&Light♥️C.

Traveling up 75 from Florida we always stopped there for sightseeing and dinner. They have really updated the cafe. Thank you for stopping and sharing.

They really cleaned up this place. Visited this a few years ago and it was in disrepair. I'm happy that they restored it and added the museum. You're in the part of the country where they distill the best bourbons on earth. Don't know if you will but, it would be a fantastic side trip to visit some amazing distilleries...Bufalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey and Four Roses just to name a few. Awesome tours and real history.

There is another Sanders Court in Weaverville NC. His sister lived there. He also lived in Weaverville on and off. The court is now Condominiums.

Thank u so much Jordan! Am looking forward to seeing u and Scott road tripping together.

I haven't had Kentucky Fried Chicken in ages and I always loved it so much. Now I'll have to go tomorrow and have lunch there! 😁 And I agree, their coleslaw was always the best!

His sister, Katherine, worked for my grandpa and his brother keeping the books for my grandpa's business....

Thank you, It's one of my favorite restaurants . My husband was born in Corbin, KY. One day, I can't wait to see the town.

This is the BEST history I've seen on Kentucky Fried Chicken, Jordan! As for the "finger lickin' good" slogan I guess with all the fear of germs you can't lick your fingers, go figure! The cooler/warmer bag how cool, I guess it's "Skip the Dishes" who stole his idea. KFC is good up here in Canada but like everything else it is becoming so commercialized that it's also changing the quality of the food, let alone the serve. Up here you can now get two pieces of chicken for $2 but with no fries. It is interesting to listen to the people order this and then be surprised when there are no fries. The commercial is not misleading as it says two pieced of chicken. Keep up the great work Jordan, your videos are top-notch!

Great vlog once again you find out of the way sites that keep us tuned to you and your videos Thank You Jordan

Jordan my brother in law (who’s much older than my sister) worked for Mr. Sanders in the 50’s as a protege of sorts. I live in Mississauga Ontario Canada where Harlan lived and donated a million dollars to a hospital in the city. I believe his official residence was here till his death. One of the last original restaurants here down the street from me was Scott’s Chicken Villa which was probably an alternate name but under the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise as were many other locations in Ontario. They are all under KFC if the locations still exist.

Thank you Jordan, for this tour of where it all began for the colonel! Agree, I still and will consider it Kentucky Fried Chicken Not KFC. Boy I could go for some of that tender tasty chicken right now. Scott and yourself have a safe and fun trip!

Col Sanders was the best. Love the Col. What a life he had. KFC has been my favorite chicken place to go ever since my growing up years. It truly is “finger licking good “.

❤both you and Scott! Route 66 Excellent adventure. Thanks for taking me along too watch

25E is the old rout by todays standards. My grandmother lived in Whitesburg , Kentucky. They filmed a lot f the "Coal Miners Daughter" there. When I was a kid I remember passing by Corbin on our journey to her house. It's kind of like the rout 66 to the south. I also remember an area called "Dog Patch".

We lived in Alaska and my parents ran Kentucky fried chicken. My uncle lived in Fairbanks and he owns a Kentucky fried chicken in Alaska . And my parents got their pictures made with Colonel Sanders.

Thank you, Jordan! 👍😊

Nice to see the colonel sanders museum in the restaurant it's nice they show the kitchen where he worked good vlog Jordan vickie napa california

We made a stop here at this museum on our way to Florida last February. It's good to see you there!

Another great vlog thank you Jordan the lion!😊

I was there last year, the highlight of Kentucky

I knew Scott had to be somewhere in this video since he loves KFC so much. I always learn so much from your videos.

Loved this Vlog! Colonel Sanders was quite a man. I have to go to that museum one day.

I really enjoyed this video. Sincere thanks Jordan.

Haha I just had dinner there tonight! What an awesome place, I could have spend way more time there looking at all the small nuggets of col sanders history! Thanks for your vid, I didn’t catch the brick wall of history!! That was so cool!!

I am watching this again, and I have decided I am having Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner!

I got two pictures of colonel Sanders from one of his restaurant I save from the trash And I still got them ,plus I love that chicken

Well worth the wait!! What an amazing story! Thanks Jordan for taking us along!! Have a great day!!

You know I just remembered a true story that my mom told me decades ago about Carl Karcher from Carl's junior. When my grandfather got his settlement from breaking his back he was friends with Carl Karcher and Carl wanted my grandfather to go into business with him and open up a couple of burger restaurants and my grandpa decided not to do it can you imagine that 😮 my family would be rich

Many thanks Jordan, another great vlog .

Excellent as usual

LOVE ❤️ THIS. Very interesting Jordan 🇨🇦🥰🫶

Enjoyed again Jordan

Kentucky Fried chicken 🍗 food my favorite one fan Big 💖💖💖💖⭐️💯

My wife's grandfather was good friends with the Colonel. He lived just down the road from him which was hwy 160 from Henryville is not far from Charlestown IN where my wife grew up. The Sanders family lived in that area for years. When my wife's grandmother passed away in the early 00's her funeral was hailed in Henryville and inside the funeral home I didn't know this at the time. But they had a picture of Colonel Sanders in the lobby at the funeral home. I asked the funeral director why is there a picture of the colonel here? The funeral director said that he was born here in Henryville and he's buried in Louisville. Thanks for vlogging there.

Ha, ha,-Cumberland Falls is about 30 minutes from there. Largest Waterfalls south of Niagara....DEBBIE DEAN,('Motown Records artist)' is from Corbin,KY

Beautiful!

THANKU JORDAN&YAY!! KFC&COLONIAL SANDERS🙂♥️

Awesome you came to Corbin that's where I grew up and live now drive by KFC all the time cool.

Really enjoyed this. I love KFC.. Thanks much. Have fun

Omg you're in Illinois? You should come up to Rockford a ton to see home place of Cheap Trick, Rockford Peaches (ie a League of their own)... so many cool things

Another fine video, Jordan. I'm actually related to the Corbins that named that town. So, I've got that going for me 😁

That place was awesome thanks

Great video. Love the coleslaw also.

Awesome video Jordan. KFC has always been my favorite fried chicken 🐔 joint ever. RIP Colonel Sanders

Oh well makes me crave it I guess I’m gonna have to go get me some for appreciate this blog it is an interesting piece of history and ongoing and probably never will stop hopefully great video. Salute to the Colonel. Thanks.

The first franchise location is here in Salt Lake City. They tore down the original building but the statue of the colonel sanders still stands.

You coming though Georgetown KY I can show you where the first bottle of bourbon was made

Thanks Jordan I do love some Kentucky Fried Chicken! I have to tell you that I was sitting in my car when a man dressed as Harlan passed my riding on Harley! He waved at me so I waved back!

Ok Jordan....all this chicken talk is making me hungry!!! Lol

I was raised in Barbourville (15 miles from Corbin) and also lived in Corbin. My mom, along with other relatives are buried in Corbin. Been in Minnesota since 1999. I've eaten at the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin many times. It's still good, unlike some of the KFCs around the country. Also, it pissed me off when they changed their name to KFC to hide the word "Fried". The overall product has gone downhill over the last 30 years.

Not sure if you know…but Claudia Sanders dinner house is in Shelbyville,Ky! You should check it out if still in the area…the food is FANTASTIC!

i remember seeing a story that said he regretted selling it, and that he ate there once after that and was upset they changed and cheapened the recepie, calling the gravy "wallpaper paste". i don't know if that story was true or not but they claimed it was

I was raised in KY. Someone pointed out the small restaurant in Nicholasville where sombody had a franchise but I never got the chance to verify that story. Dad had a job change and we moved to Jackson, MS in 1978. I remember in the 70's when the guys tried to change, the recipe and everybody was upset and the chicken has never tasted the same since, not as good.

I was about four years old when I met him at Dulles International Airport. He was in the white suit and everything. My mother said that he walked up to me, leaned over and said "Little girl, do you like my chicken?" Apparently I looked up at him without a smile and said "Nope." My mother said he avoided me after that. I came to love his chicken later!!

Great to see the original Kentucky Fried. The original flavor is not available in New Zealand, only the modern flavors, not as good.

Again Jordan your zest for life is contagious thank for your awesome videos 👍👍

my dad knew the colonel as well. my dad worked for scotts chicken villa they owned a lot of KFC's in Canada. and then he became KCF co-op president in Canada which was out of louisville KY. I have a pic of him with my parents lol he also owned a house in Mississauga ON Canada for a time as well

Hi Jordan, I haven't had a KFC for years now. Not a fast food fan. A lovely little Museum though. Great vlog Jordan.

That tobacco shop is the original gas station I found small clip about 1959..him talking about his original restaurant inside his kitchen..

Stopping in tomorrow morning.

Love the video! Like always love all of your videos! I’m sure you know by now @DazewithJordantheLion but The Iron Sheik passed away today! Would love for you to make a video about him if you could! REST IN PEACE BUBBA MAKE THEM HUMBLE IN HEAVEN SHEIK!

I heard the after the Colonel sold the business that the company changed the taste of the chicken. He was so upset that the rest of his life he would tell people not to eat there. He said Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken is the closest to how his chicken taste that we can get today.

interesting video

Scott Michaels would love this!!

I live up the road in London. Sure would've like to have met up wIth you in Corbin. Next time let me know, lol. Ive seen Adam vlog it and Carpetbagger. I thpught you had been there once before. Glad you got to come visit.

Good Video

While on the way to Gatlinburg, I've stopped there a few times.
