Fun fact: The Colonel was SO mad that corporate KFC butchered his recipe he actively went into locations and yelled at employees to do it right. He then got sued by KFC. And won.
Actually Sanders opened a restaurant under his wife's name with the og recipe and the company found out and sued him over the copyright of his name and the dude literally sued them back for using his face for advertising
Colonel Sanders actually disapproved of KFC after it went corporate and actually created his own family owned restaurant that has the actual original recipe, it’s called The Claudia Sanders dinner house.
It’s “Claudia Sanders, The Colonel’s Lady” named after his wife who helped him run the restaurant he served his original recipe and the original menu items that made kfc famous fried chicken, coleslaw, biscuits, and other southern-style dishes. was essentially an extension of Colonel Sanders’ passion for sharing his fried chicken with the world, albeit under a different brand name. it became a local attraction known for its quality Southern comfort food.
I assume this is the first franchise location. I think the original location that started it all is in Kentucky, with the colonel’s original recipe, before franchise owners cut costs and quality. Apparently it’s good.
I wanted to say that, because I visited the first location in KY and it was pretty much as he described in the video. Not sure if there is a copycat in UT for some odd reason lol
fun fact: when colonel sanders saw the changed recipe for the chicken after the restaurant was bought, he literally roasted it, calling it a "doughball stuck on some chicken", also calling the gravy "water, flour and starch to end up with wallpaper paste"
Bro he was so pissed after selling his company to million dollar contractors when they ruined his recipe to cut costs, he tried opening a restaurant of his own “the colonels lady dinner house” and KFC sued him for using his own name!
It's not them changing to save money. It's that customers wanted cheaper food. Inflation you can't deliver the same quality. People rather pay cheaper than better food and higher expenses for that brand. 😊
Yea they messed up the original recipe, but Colonel and his wife opened their own restaurant after the change to keep the OG recipe alive. Claudia Sanders in Shelbyville KY. It's so good...
No brand has fallen off harder than KFC. That shit used to get me so hype as a kid, now we got a Popeyes and a Chick Fil A in town and that old KFC is beyond dead bruh I never see a single car out there.
It must’ve been so easy to make a restaurant back in those times. All you had to do was add like 2 more seasonings to something that isn’t salt and everyone was like YOOOO WTF THIS SHIT BUSSIN.
my dad used to live in salt lake for UTA. And what I learned that's ironic, Mike the rooster went the University of Utah in Salt Lake, he lived 18 months without his head. And yet chicken restaurant founded in Utah
