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.

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.
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 ?

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.
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.
He was a good man. He had a policy that homeless ate for free. That also changed when the company sold. My ex husband managed many KFC’s in the 90’s and if a homeless person was caught rummaging through the dumpster they would pack them up a hot meal and send them on their way! ❤❤❤

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
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.
UA-cam 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
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.
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.
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.
*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.
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.
When someone settles down like this off-court, behind the screen. You already know they were told that if they didnt move along, they would get suicidal and might unalive themselves with a bullet to the back of their own head. Something extremely fishy and dodgy about this, right?
@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.
It was not HIS "iconic recipe," that was a Black woman's recipe (don't remember if he bought it from her for a meager amount or stole it) but it wasn't his creation. (Seriously, what the heck would HE know about an herb or a spice!)🤨😒🙄

My mother told me decades ago that this man took his recipe with him to the grave, because it was a obvious difference in taste later on
He did NOT let that slide 💀
😂
Only 3 mill. An absolute tragedy.
3 million dollars in 1964 is equal to 29 million in 2023.
@@curlywurly70 23m is still nothing but again, i dont think kfc will be what it is if not for that.
3 million in 1964 bro
@@curlywurly70but now it values 9.6B
@@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.

Sanders: "Don't fck with this Colonial!"
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 .
He went the petty route and I respect that
Stealing the recipe from a slave?
@@MAR_StayChefinTF are you on about.
@@MAR_StayChefin SteaLING the recipe from a slave, I see?
@@MAR_StayChefin Is this true?
@@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.
Another result that stemmed from this was Dave Thomas who trained under the Colonel and founded Wendy's. This was an even more interesting backstory.
Really? I never knew that interesting
@@realtalkwithj-man5195 yes. There's a documentary episode of "Foods That Built America" on Discovery i think.
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.
Yeah I watched it on "Foods That Built America". I used to work for Wendy's too back in the day.
@@lorimiller4301 that's facts the Wendy's girl was Dave Thomas adopted daughter
He thinks we didn’t notice the loop immediately 😂
The audacity of those CEOs!
The colonel should have received more than a million. RIP
He also shared his recipe with a friend who used in his own local restaurants. Jack Pirtle. A Memphis staple.
Really? But why have I never heard of Pirtle's restaurant success if he has Sanders' secret recipe?
@@MrWiss do u live in Memphis?
@@MrWiss I never heard of the Colonel's wife restaurant. U not going to hear about the world sitting at home
Stop it 😂
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.
The colonel actually had a shootout with his neighbor that owned a gas station on the same street
Reading the comments made me respect the guy even more.
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.
Incredible! Glad he trusted him. Colonel really was a good man + they stole his face and disfigured his chicken....ass wipes!
whats the name of his restaurant. cus i do want to visit it whenever i am in ireland
What's the name of the restaurant??
@@user-me7vs7rn4uig its Chicken Hut in Limerick
What's restaurant name?
This is one of the scummiest things a company can do.
Welcome to America
Bro wanted $122 million and walked away with one 😭
He was a good man. He had a policy that homeless ate for free. That also changed when the company sold. My ex husband managed many KFC’s in the 90’s and if a homeless person was caught rummaging through the dumpster they would pack them up a hot meal and send them on their way! ❤❤❤
man colonel sounds awesome
"We will sue you for using your own name in a business"
*logic has left the room*
I do not think it was in there in the Frist place
Its on Sanders for selling his name
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.
Wait so they still own kfc
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
Not really, they still got away with butchering the recipe with the colonel’s name
No he didnt 😂😂
@@TheReeelBradPitt And now, we will never know what the original recipe tastes like.
@@benfrank9622 true if we want the original recipe, we need to travel to the US

“You can’t do this to me! I started this company… YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?!”
Papa John's Pizza sued their founder too.
That makes so much sense on why KFC sucks. The original must've been bomb af. Sad to them change it.

Also a restaurant in shelbyville Ky
That sucks that we might never get to try his original recipe
Bro out-sued the suers😭
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.
UA-cam 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
Bruh they really sued him for using his name💀
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.
When you hear this mans story its really something man, through trying to make a life for himself he made a go to fast food for many including myself.
“Friendly fire will not be tolerated!”
Lesson for today: DO NOT under any circumstances mess with the Colonel
Funny cuz I still still see KFC open and Sander's restaurant in the shadows
I often forget that Colonel Sanders was a real person
And wasn’t a colonel btw
I thought he was white
@@sillycheese301 You’re right, he was white
@@ko-Daeguhe was a Kentucky colonel I believe, just not a military one
“NO!! YOU CANT SUE US WERE YOUR COMPANY!”
“Hehe i sue you for 122 million for copyright on my name and face”
His nephew started his own chain called “Lee’s Fried Chicken” during this time and apparently it stayed more true to what is uncle wanted.
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.
Don't colonel original restaurant (colonel lady) still available, tho under a different name?
“Thought to be the only place” is completely untrue, his wife’s restaurant still exists.
His Wife's restaurant in Shelbyville, Kentucky
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.
A black woman came up with KFC Sanders stole recipe for profit.
Yep he was the Elvis of the food industry
the so-called secret spice Mix of KFC was released for the internet by one employee that was fired for a weird/ no apparent reason years ago
Old man Sanders was a menace.
The KFC was the evil company.
Sanders can start a new business if he wants to. That company also doesn’t own his likeness, so he’s in the right to sue them.
fool.
Never fuck with a chicken man.
Le fool in its finest.
*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.
DISGUSTING!
What? People have been adding chemicals to food since the dawn of modern humans
you need to be more specific because everything in the world is a chemical.
@@mendlez2306😂
yeah the word chemical means nothing here. Its just a word used to scare people ngl
Greed is one hell of a drug...
The colonel was almost 70 when he finally made his millions. Spent his whole life trying to get ahead
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.
This is so true 😭 Mine was so oily and soggy, I was extremely disgusted!
And it has HIS name all over it. I don't blame him either.
Yeah the chicken sandwich I had from them last tasted really off as well.
If companies sell crap nowadays it's because people don't value themselves anymore.
@@OrangeLimeSits because you didnt vent the steam
When someone settles down like this off-court, behind the screen. You already know they were told that if they didnt move along, they would get suicidal and might unalive themselves with a bullet to the back of their own head. Something extremely fishy and dodgy about this, right?
I am also now furious about them changing the recipe...can you even imagine how good it was
It’s almost ironic that trying to cut costs resulted in a lawsuit that cost more money than kfc would save from changing the recipe
i don’t think they changed the recipe back
1 million wouldn't touch how much money they saved world wide for years man.
@@aarong5784 lol I know this dude is crazy. KFC rolling in millions a month
@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.
You think that costed them more than buying higher quality ingredients across the country?
Kfc: "Were suing you"
Sanders: "Try me😎"
😂When evil compete with the wicked.
It was not HIS "iconic recipe," that was a Black woman's recipe (don't remember if he bought it from her for a meager amount or stole it) but it wasn't his creation. (Seriously, what the heck would HE know about an herb or a spice!)🤨😒🙄
Those people need to put some respect on Sanders name
Some respek ya heard
he was broke at 65, started KFC and became a multi 100x millionnaire at 85
It crazy he was born in 1890
And stole his recipe from a black women
@@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.
