I worked for KFC in the Los Angeles area from 1968 to 1972. I left as an Assistant Manager working 56 hours a week for a salary of $450 per month. The snak-pak was one piece of chicken, a roll and a small side of either Cole slaw or mashed potatoes and gravy for 59 cents. The 2 piece snak was 89 cents, and a 3 piece dinner with 2 rolls and both sides was $1.29. My store in Culver City was closest to Collin’s Foods International, the majority franchise holder for Southern California. We prepared the food for TV commercials and catered Beverly Hills frequently. My store helped to perfect the process for the crispy fried chicken introduced in 1973.
Loved this! My Mother worked for KFC in the 70's. She was a jack of all trades there. She could run the restaurant by herself if needed! I have a photo of her and Colonel Sanders , she has on a starched white shirt with the Colonel black string bow tie. When she started she had the red and white striped top. I also have a pressure cooking pot that was gifted to her. After my mother started working there we never had her fried chicken again! Only bad part of her working there was her coming home smelling like KFC! Ty Jordan! Great to Jah ♥️ Safe travels ❤️
I met the Colonel when I was 7 or 8 years old. I was playing with my trucks on a construction site in Winnipeg Canada. I think they were building the first Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Manitoba if not Canada. So a convertible pulled up with two men in the car. The old white geezer in the funny clothes ask me what I was doing. Just playing, was my reply. A couple of years later I realized that that was the Colonel visiting the site. The restaurants were sit down affairs in those days and the take out was a smaller part. And the food was really good then, unlike today.
I actually met the Colonel in the 70s. I don't remember much, but I left thinking how nice he was and how white he was with the suit and hair, he patted me on the head and said how proud he was with his service to people and his hard work. My mother had the sense to actually have a bucket signed by him I still have. Loved the video!
So happy to see you back in my neck of the woods. I know you have done a few vlogs about the Colonel before that I have really enjoyed over the years on your channel. Thanks again. Blessings to you, Katie and Jah. ~Love&Light♥️C.
I love hearing about the Colonel. I always thought he seemed like he would have been a really nice man, and thanks to all your stories I know he was. Thanks Jordan. ❤Jodie 🇦🇺
dave thomas the late founder of the fast food restaurant got his start at kentucky fried chicken & the real colonel sanders before opening his own fast food chain. Before opening his own franchise, Dave Thomas Worked As A Head Cook at a Hobby House restaurant, the line of restaurants that would eventually become Kentucky Fried Chicken.
This was great. Their attention to detail when it came to sharing his story is amazing. I grew up having his chicken and love his story. What an inspiring guy. You are SO right about him probably being upset about the number of people in line, the wait to get your order, just everything that didn't fit with how he wanted things to be done. Kind of miss that kind of dedication these days. Fun vlog.
I remember as kid when we’d take a road with our parents and seeing the big bucket tuning on top of the sign!🤩 Again thanks for bringing me back to my childhood!🤩
Out of any food on the planet, Kentucky Fried Chicken is my all time favorite food since I've been about 10 years old (51 years ago 😉)!!! Great video, Jordan, thank you! 👍👍
Awww man, I wish you stopped in Richmond. I could show you a few things. Original unchanged stretches of Daniel Boone's trail, a 1927 Yankee's grave, country music history sites. I'm off the Buc-ee's exit (83).
I was also thinking that the Col. would be losing his mind if he saw how things are today. The food is gross and greasy, the workers act like they are doing you a favor by taking your order, and the restaurants are disgusting. I used to love KFC but that time passed about 20 years ago. Now its the Colonels disappointment.
Jordan, I thought you were taking a break from vlogging for a few days or so. You need to go on a vacation with Katie to a tropical paradise for two weeks or more
I grew up in a very small town in Southern Ohio. The KFC we had there had a very big chicken made of concrete out in front and every year it was "borrowed" and placed at one of he schools during football season. I have no idea how or how many people it took to move it. I think they only caught them one time. Another great video Jordan. Thanks for taking us along with you. Hoping Jah is doing better. Much love
Awesome! I was just here yesterday myself. We went in the evening so we could see it lit up at night. I forgot about Sanders Park until we came back to the hotel. Keep up the great work man.
Very interesting to see this, as it is unlikely I will ever get to Corbin, KY, to see it for myself. And I suspect you are right that the Col. would not have been happy about the slow service. He was a hothead with a bad temper. My favorite story about him is from his brief time as a young lawyer, one of the jobs not mentioned on the plaque. He was disbarred for getting into a fistfight in a courthouse, with his own client!
Hello, Thanks for the post. Is the Colonel’s old home still a museum? Also, Did Dave Thomas, who later started Wendy’s, help develop the bucket concept?
Jordan, have you heard of Lee’s famous recipe chicken? I live in Northern Kentucky and being you lived close to Cincinnati I thought maybe you’ve been there or heard of it. It’s actually Colonel Sanders nephew who started it when he had a falling out with his Uncle. It’s a pretty cool story and I thought maybe you’d be interested in looking into it. Love the channel! Dustin from Independence, Kentucky
Jordan did you know that when he was just starting out in business shortly, it was too much for the Colonel and his wife to handle he came up with the bright idea of getting a server and someone to clear the dishes from the table. So, are you ready......he hired his mistress. LOL It worked out very well because they were together for many years. I heard this on Biography on the channel and I wonder what his wife was like to go for t he business. Have a great dy.
Ah, I'd sure like to meet you and know when you're through these parts. I'd have paid for your lunch! Keep me in mind when you come back through.....seriously.

How can we see that photo?

Tellicherry pepper is the real secret in the flavor. My grandmother figured it out years ago.
Spinning bucket. Be still my heart.

I've been there thirty years ago. Sweet.
Wow 😮 they really spiffed it up. I liked the seedy version.
Love to Jah and You.Col. Snader's wife had a restaurant also.

Great video, Jordan, thank you!
👍👍
I am glad you were able to get another pair of socks 😊 🧦
I live about 20 minutes away in Barbourville, KY. The Colonel Sanders festival takes place later this month in Corbin.
I would love to see colonel sanders Cafe and museum in Corbin Kentucky good vlog jordan
My mom grew up in Corbin and Colonel Sanders would walk around town and was apparently a bit essentric
KFC is the only fast food that can rival McDonald’s for the amount of stores out there! A real Success story still growing strong! Respect that 👍🏻
❤️
It was nice to see this again. Glad to see Jah looking ok. Take care and stat safe.
💜 some KFC
How’d I miss this??? My kids turned off my notifications 😡. Sorry Jordan. I’m getting ready. Excited!!!!
It's never Goodbye, it's See You Later😊 be blessed my friend.

Jordan this was an amazing video, I loved it.

I've been there. My parents took me. It was so cool
Awesome Museum! I actually ate KFC today for lunch. lol
I'm headed to the Evil Knievel Museum now haha 😂
Better hurry ... it's leaving soon to go to Vegas.

I LOVE KFC❤
You are right, the Col. would of unloaded some whoop ass if he saw bad service. He was a foul-mouthed mean ole cuss.
When they got bought out, they changed the chicken and gravy recipe, and I haven't eaten their since.
I loved this Jordan!
if your ever in Louisville Ky u can go try out his wife restaurant which is called the B.A Colonel, I heard it good she made her own recipe.
I went there once it's was awesome and good food
Hello,
Thanks for the post.
Is the Colonel’s old home still a museum?
Also, Did Dave Thomas, who later started Wendy’s, help develop the bucket concept?
I’m totally shocked you didn’t give a shout out to Scott.
I've always had his name wrong, thought it was "Harlan" but it has a "D" on the end
hey jordan! ....good seeing you guys......
Jordan, have you heard of Lee’s famous recipe chicken? I live in Northern Kentucky and being you lived close to Cincinnati I thought maybe you’ve been there or heard of it.

I live about 40 miles from there and I’ve actually never been there .
I was there and I got to see Jordan 🎉

Claudia Sanders Dinner House in Shelbyville, Ky was a great place to eat..the best Hot Browns.
Hi
Isn’t there an animatronic of his there? I swear I saw one last time you were there????
There is one in Louisville, on 4th street.

Ah, I'd sure like to meet you and know when you're through these parts. I'd have paid for your lunch! Keep me in mind when you come back through.....seriously.
