I made a video that goes deep into the insane (and tragic) story of Colonel Sanders. Check it out below! ⬇ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0hWQnD6LFlA.html
I met the colonel at his wife's restaurant. I had the ORIGINAL chicken. I'm originally from Kentucky, my father was chief of police of Louisville. the colonel lived across the street from us in Hurstbournre when he retired. I can tell more lmk
Wrong info in the vid. The first new owners didn't change the recipe of the food qnd swore to sanders that they would maintain the same quality as before. After the new owners sold it to a large corporate company the quality started declining. Sanders then sued the third owners not the second.
@@AngelinaVitto That comment makes no sense - lab grown meat is currently leagues more expensive than farm grown and only available at just two higher end restaurants in the whole of the US. Corporate America's thing is cheapest with highest profit.
@@tonyduffy7441 She maybe meant this, KFC has made their own kind of chicken breed which grows super fast and this leads to many problems: "chickens grow to full size and are killed in just 5-6 short weeks. The unnaturally fast growth leaves them riddled with health issues including broken bones and heart and lung failure".
My dad worked at a kfc in high school. This was around the time the Colonel would randomly visit kfc’s unannounced and rate their food. He usually ended up yelling at the manager for how badly they butchered his recipe, and he particularly despised the gravy. My dad happened to be off that day so he just missed him. I never knew what his opinion of that kfc was, but it closed down decades ago so that should tell you something.
RU-vid is pretty dope.You watch an old story about a legend and people come to the comments with their own story that we would have never knew.I don't know.I just thought this was dope
😮?? 🤔🧐 . . . Oh really? ? What about it was different from how it is now if you could please tell us I am really curious because I only just recently have tried 'Chick-fil-A' , for the first time ever. And when I did I thought it was just all right good food nothing extraordinary like, to have to run right back too! . ... (( *BUT !! 😯 you're saying otherwise? I'm intrigued, "'what made it taste better back Then??" or what did they change to make it not to As Tasty & good the way that it is NOW ? ) 🤷 ..... 🍗🍗🐔 ?!! @@grigorirasputin5020
Basically the same with Jollibee here in the Philippines - Jollibee, the corporation, bought out a coiple of restaurants and their quality was never the same
No restaurant tastes the same anymore. I was born in 76 and grew up on take out thru the 80s. Whether it was mcdonalds, burger king , wendys , hardees, arbys, dairy queen, ect. Corporate always looks for cutting costs. I remember even into the 90s noticing how food quality went down.
So true, I have eliminated eating at many places. Many fast food places are subpar and the prices to high for the garbage taste we are getting. Last time I ate at Burger King I was sick the next day. Not sure if it was their food but since then I can’t stomach BK.
Honestly. I disagree. Realistically if you are offered a high enough offer, take it. You can always open another restaurant with the money. Plus recipes aren't copyrighted only the instructions for them are. So as long as you know the recipes you can always make them and sell them. Just cause CEO's ruin everything for a quick buck doesn't mean you can't take advantage of it.
The reason those restraunts exists is because they need the money, its in their best interests to cash out, and at least it spreads across the world instead of staying a small thing
For those who forgot or don't know. The place is called, Claudia's Sanders dinner house. It has the original recipe and it is DELICIOUS and very southern with it's tastes and spices.
You’ll NEVER know what the “Original Recipe” tasted like because THAT recipe was stolen from a woman many years ago to start K.F.C. in the very beginning !
He’s not being sued for his name but rather his name in a brand (profiting out of it) U can name your self google but don’t expect to open a company after your name 😂
I have had his original chicken and gravy recipe a few times years ago at Cafe he founded before KFC. It was called Harmon's Cafe, and it was on State Street in Salt Lake City. I remember loving it, but as a child my palate wouldn't have been developed enough to notice difference, but my parents sure did. It was a topic of frequent discussion among friends.
You're saying modern kfc like you were there when old kfc was opened lol but kfc is quite bad most of my local fried chicken places beat kfc's ass so fair point
@@the-guesser yea, idk what old KFC tasted like. but if THE Colonel himself was mad at the new recipe, I'm very sure that the old KFC chicken musta tasted heavenly compared to modern day KFC's soggy towel of a chicken
Nawh. It is the main sign of stockholders. Stockholders do not care if companies survive. They want maximum profit at all costs. If the company is destroyed in the process, no big deal. They move on to the next with all their gains. They're locusts. Just look at the video game industry. Large companies flush with cash buy the little ones with fantastic ideas. Then they milk those ideas and run the IP into the ground until they destroy all desire in the product. Rise and repeat.
This story is a lesson for anyone with a business or idea that corporations want to buy from you. The fact that you have an offer on the table means it is good and worth far more than they will pay you for it. Be wise about it especially if you have children, because at that point its more than just about money but about leaving them a legacy, an inheritance, a name that opens doors for them. 🙏🏽🇿🇦
You can still go to Claudia Sanders dinner house in Kentucky, I went there a couple years ago for their mother's day buffet, it was by far the best fried chicken I've ever had, my southern stepmother reluctantly told us it was better than her fried chicken, and you know how much southern women take pride in their cooking
@@ExaltedMarauder 3202 Shelbyville road, Shelbyville, Kentucky 40065 I google mapped it for you. Now go and remember to tell the people how awesome it is!!
My great grandpa looked so much like Colonel Sanders that people would ask him for his autograph... and he would sign them! 😂 After Colonel Sanders died, people would say to him, "I heard Colonel Sanders died." He would nonchalantly reply, "That's just a rumor." Always made me laugh. He was an amazing man with a fascinating life. RIP Grandpa Great.
You have to remember that when you build up a company to the point where very rich investors are interested, they're not interested in your company but what they can do with it. The first thing they'll do is cut staff and corners, the rest follows till there's nothing left of the original company
If he did it would make sense. Ewba wep or The Lion Sleeps tonigh was basically stolen from an African tribe and they sure didn't see any royalties on it.
What's this cook's name? And why have we only ever heard this from either your comment, or disgruntled angry activists who are hell bent on claiming "everything in the modern world was stolen from some poor sweet little black janitor who was just fooling around with the spices in an empty kitchen one night"?
@@niconeedsanap8130Cena is already using his name outside of WWE but he has to give some percentage of revenue to WWE and he has said he has no problem in it
Actually this isn’t the right story, what happened was when sanders sold his company for $2 million, the company that bought it from him did keep to their promise of not sharing the seasoning mix, until they sold the company again to a food conglomerate, who then sued sanders after he got mad and opened his own restaurant
He should have put the conditions in his contract 1. 10 cents goes to the founder for every chicken sold in perpetuity. 2. Immediate termination of the contract transferring all the rights back to the founder if the original recipe is changed.
Not only they sue the founder, they also blatantly lied in their advertisement about having their fried chicken made using 11 secret herbs and spices from the original recipe.
@@curlywurly70 wrong. 1964 was still in the silver standard, so it is MUCH MUCH worse than that 3 million dollars in pre-1972 standard would equate to 2.320,320 troy ounces which on spot value is 55,362,835.20 at the time of this post. put into the standard of Morgan Dollars even in the WORST condition (CULL) puts it at 64.945 Million and in AVERAGE quality puts it at 81.2 million dollars. He got straight JACKED
He is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville KY. His grave is just around a corner from the family plot where I'll be buried. The cemetery painted a yellow center line stripe on the roadway to guide people to his grave, because the guards were having too much trouble giving directions to those that visited.
@@doctahjonezo it’s not. And this constant Afrocentric blackwashing and stealing of everything even history, culture and identities of other people especially by African Americans only hurts the fight for equality and actual victims of racism. It’s the exact same thing white supremacists do.
I think Wendy was his adopted child and he loved her so much that he made the restaurant in her honour and she's the little girl they used for advertising.
KFC tried to destroy the colonel and the colonel obliterated them 😂😂 Edit: i know 1 million isn't much for KFC but the point is that KFC tried to destroy the colonel and it backfired
Theres actually an irishman the colonel met with years ago and they got along so well that he gave him the original recipe. He opened a restaurant and it's one of the few places you can still taste the original recipe.
Bruh, companies like 'Sky', 'Monster', etc. are literally copyrighting their name outside their core-domain. Yes, many video games actually avoided a name including those words to not have the hassle of a lawsuit. To be clear: I get that you don't want a competitor to use your trademark, but patents literally span professions/industries, just 'cause.
He initially paid Miss Childress $1200 for the original recipe for her delicious chicken ! Then, he turned around and opened his restaurant called "Kentucky Fried Chicken." He NEVER paid the creator of his famous chicken recipe another dime. I truly believe that this is the reason why things took a turn for the worse for this greedy man. The Most High does not like ugly.
If this is true then, 1. He payed for the recipe which would be a bigger price if it was today. About $21,400 today. 2. Why didn’t she do something about it? So what you’re saying is he payed for the recipe with his money and he’s not allowed to use it?
@Yawningcatfromthegasstation Yes, the story is true. Please don't be lazy. Do a little digging to confirm the back story of Sanders and Miss Childress. The problem that I have with this man is that he passed off this woman's recipe as his very own ! He never gave her public credit. He even lied when he went on TBN (Christian TV). This is deceptive and disgusting. He opened his first Restaurant in 1952, in the state of Kentucky. This was during the Jim Crow era. So why do you think an African American woman wouldn't dare challenge this man during this time in history 🤔 ? Who would believe her over him ? I've had family members during that time who were harmed by bigots for far less trivial matters. So please, let's use a little common sense. At the end of the day, the Heavenly Father see's all things and will right every wrong. Shalom
My cousin's husband did some remodeling work for Colonel Sanders. He said that old man was hard-headed, tough as nails, demanding, and cussed like a sailor. However, he said the Colonel had a tough life growing up, knew the value of a penny, knew hard work, and expected good work when he was paying for it. He said ultimately Col. Sanders fair, paid well, and paid his bills on time.
RU-vid is pretty dope.You watch an old story about a legend and people come to the comments with their own story that we would have never knew.I don't know.I just thought this was dope
This is the kind of infinite loop i'm gonna watch with gladness , if i need to sleep , i can play this video , since it has the smoothest loop i've ever seen.
I think that's effin awesome of the Colonel! He wasn't having any of their cooperate bs. Sue me for using my own name, then take my face off your gross new recipe lol I love it! He just wanted the og recipe...not much to ask for. And for that, Sir, I thank you for being a stand up guy. And trying to keep things real in this mental world we live in. RIP Colonel Sanders
Yeah he didn’t take shit. You know he wasn’t even a colonel? Not in the military anyway. It’s like being a Knight in England but that doesn’t mean you ride around on a horse with a sword lol. But he dubbed himself that and nobody argued hahaha.
Never sell your business that you’ve built from the ground up, to people who can only look up and see far ahead. Those who can remain in the present and stay grounded, will keep the business’ original reputation, name etc everything .
Yes. "The Colonel" and his face were publically known KFC representations of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Just bc he was angry doesn't give him the right to ignore his feduciary responsibilities to the KFC Board he was a member of. Sounds messed up, but no one forced him to sell the brand, and he was in the wrong here.
*Colonel also found out the new owners started adding CHEMICALS in the chicken. That made him RAGING.* Edit: OK, to be more specific, they've used chemicals to make chicken FATTENING and ADDICTING.
While Sanders was spending time in Toronto, the Kentucky native met another fish out of water: Pat Grace, an Irish salesman who had moved to Toronto and fallen in love with the Colonel's fried chicken. The two became fast friends, and Pat Grace brought Kentucky Fried Chicken, made with the Colonel's secret recipe, back to Ireland. Grace’s son would go on to open up a fried chicken shop in Limerick called Chicken Hut, thought to be the only place to contain the original recipe to this day.
Weird how great restaurants sell out to investors and then their quality steadily plunges even though their number of locations and success grows exponentially, to which they cut costs even more to become even more profitable and then become complete garbage and nothing like the original.
@@user-xc3yb1vk2e No he didn’t. You should verify a story before repeating it. I have looked into it. There are many variations of that story, none of them are supported by any evidence. The story is made up and intended to cause division between the races. We don’t need that. Please stop spreading lies.
The last time I had KFC, the chicken was grey and smelt so off I refused to take a bite. I can see why the Founder was furious, that crap was _not_ even fit for a dog, let alone human consumption.
@Aaron G they'd probably be better than Popeyes or the forbidden jack in the box if they kept the old recipe. No one wants bland, dry ass chicken from KFC.
