History Of Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC)

Born and raised in Henryville, Indiana, Sanders passed through several professions in his lifetime.^[3] Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression at a gas station he owned in North Corbin, Kentucky. The dining area was named Sanders Court & Café and was so successful that in 1935 Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon granted Sanders the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine.
