I'm so old I remember Colonel Sanders when he was in tv commercials growing up in the 70s. It was a big deal to get it from the nearest one to us in Lee's Summit, MO. 😊
I remember us driving to Winston-Salem as a child to get Kentucky Fried Chicken before it became KFC. I also remember the big bucket on the pole out front that turned. We loved it. I remember tv commercials featuring the Colonel.
not to many people can say that Colonel sanders was there babysitter. he was my babysitter for an 2 hours when i was 3 yrs old in 1971.he was so friendly i still remember everything he said to me even the scolding he gave me when i did something he didn't like. and turning around to see his wonder face and his wonderful smile he had. i still remember the feel of his white suit when i sat in his lap .all i could think about when i was older was how could he wear that thick heavy white suit in the summer heat in las vegas nv .that's a memory i will never forget i've used borax to wash dishes just like using dish soap
Great video. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Always wanted to check it out in person. It's not too far from my parents house in Perryville, Kentucky. So I don't know what my excuse for not going is. I wish kfcs' here in Michigan sold chicken livers. That's something me and my brother always look forward to when we visit. We always stop and get a few orders when we head back home. And they actually stay good for the 6 hour ride. We've been getting them from Lee's Famous Chicken for the past few years. They're pretty dang good. Lee Cummings was actually Harland Sanders nephew. I'd better stop now before this ends up being a book. I'm starting to be a become a bit of a history nerd here at 46 years old.
I have always used Borax in certain hard to clean laundry items. The box shown there is new. I think the older boxes had a different picture on them. BTW…I have been there. I brought a senior group on motorcoach trip to see it.
Thank you for sharing Appalachian Channel and showed us the history of Harlan Sander's of Kentucky Fried Chicken and can you believed me and my whole family worked at one time during the Cuban refugees in Key West Fl around 1978-79 What a memories to remember
Colonel really screwed up selling off his franchise for what was essentially peanuts. If he had any inkling that KFC was to become such a chicken empire, I'm sure he would have never sold.
John R Neal Company owned the Corbim, KY location in the 80's.I went there to work for 2 weeks because they cleaned house & they needed to train a whole new crew. I worked for John R. Neal in Murfreesboro, TN. The chicken store wasn't easy work, but I count it as good experience, I went on to manage people (process & packaging) for 34 years..
Would you believe I met him in 1968-9 and he cooked dinner for myself mother and father. we were in Bend Oregon where they had a few acres on a river and while there on our property he came stopping by inviting us to his cabin up the road it was a big beautiful A-Frame I remember that. We were from California and in74 we moved to Indiana and went to stay in Corbin for a few days camping. It's a small world sometimes
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, John and Jodie. Safe travels and God bless 🙏 Between me and you, I think Colonel Sanders would roll over in his grave if he saw what his business has become. 😢
Very interesting video! Lots of fun facts! I grew up eating chicken livers. I can remember getting them from Kentucky Fried Chicken a few times when I was older. We didn’t get to eat out when I was a kid. KFC is not what it used to be. Thank you for sharing Harlan Sanders’ story with us🙏♥👀
Very cool, informative video. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I have used borax in making ant traps. And my mom used to make homemade laundry soap with borax as an ingredient.
Loved your video! I went to Cambodia a few years ago and KFC is the only American chain restaurant there. I had a 2 pc dinner with cole slaw (it was rather spicy), mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit and a drink all for the equivalent of $1.50.
My first real job was making chicken at KFC at Ginos Tysons Virginia. Best job I ever had. My manager was the ultimate kool. He drove a pretty Thunderbird and would throw me the keys to open.
good stuff, love the Guess Who playing in the background at the beginning, i could not see the prices on the board but here in Canada 2 hrs east of Detroit i think it's 40 dollars for a 20 bucket, 60 for a 25 party pak, sandwiches are 10 plus tax , and the chicken is horrible way to young to be deep fried, no chicken livers up here either .i haven't bought it for at least 20 yrs, woke up at 3 am dieing of thirst from the salt, had a few pieces not many that others have bought since then, i can get three whole chickens without tax at grocery store for the price of a bucket and barby it at home the flavour is not the same as the 70's 80's 90's
*Sanders identified the potential of restaurant franchising, and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1952* IK grew up on this stuff. Sunday dinners, picnics, days spent at the "Lagoon" - the local amusement park. Days spent water skiing at the lake.
I mean no disrespect. It is interesting to me you say “fount” for the word, found. You have a very distinct Appalachian dialect. I have heard others from Appalachia say fount for the word “found” the same way. Enjoying your channel.
Don't let the museum whitewash Harland Sanders, he was a very spicy man. He shot one of his competitors in Corbin for painting over his signs and once he was making big money from franchising he bought a Rolls Royce that he called his "pussywagon".
@@theappalachianchannel You should come back to Laurel County in September and do a Part 2, with the World Chicken Festival in London .... have you ever been?
Gonna throw out a little Easter egg, that house in the background at the end of the video, I believe was also owned by him (not 100% sure) but there's a statue of him peering out of the window. Idk if they have any plans for the house itself, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
His first franchise that opened was in Salt Lake City Utah . He went bankrupt and got out of Canada gave the stores away to avoid taxes .Pepsi destroyed KFC they Salmonella and lot of restaurants lost there franchisees it went down hill they have a lot of competition and there fryers are made in EATON OHIO BEEN THERE HENNY PENNY COMPANY. Chicken price and bacteria can close you down .
I've ate there before years ago to me it was just a KFC it looks a little different in your video so maybe they changed it as I don't remember the diorama,him on video nor gas pumps outside. I agree with others he should have neve sold as kfc has gone way down in quality while crazy $$ for crappy chicken. As a kid Dad bringing home a bucket was a treat.
Yea, they remodel during Covid. When they reopened after being closed. I live in Corbin and have not been to KFC since 2019. Did not know they had all that inside now.
Americans made KFC what it is today YET they raise prices sooo high for us Americans who made them rich and famous. The5 career to the Japanese making THEIRA PRICE LOW AND SCREWING USA. I refuse to spend $1. At KFC again.
MR. Sanders would roll over in his grave if he was to eat some KFC from around here!! It's nowhere near as good as it used to be and i don't know why?? I mean the gizzards used to be the best on the planet!! Now if they even have them they are hard fried not pressure cooked. I see the kfcs around here with empty parking lots all the time. Its just a shame that such a good recipe is altered to make it faster!! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!!

That was fun. Nice to know more about Harlan Sanders and the history of Kentucky Fried Chicken. He was a southern gentleman.

Great video guy’s thank you 🙏 I need to take a trip there soon. I liked the music to your video so much I got it on ITunes
Chicken livers were iffy, but I got them sometimes into the late 1960s. Too exotic for the McDonalds types.
Thank you for sharing with us'I enjoyed your video.

Now we're talking. This is the side of the Colonial that I'd LOVE to hear about.
I have lived in Corbin all my life! I don’t ever eat out.

I hope you have a Great Memorial Day Weekend April and Sadie!!
@@theappalachianchannel y’all too🧡
Edited: Good video but my question is, did it still taste like the original Kernel KFC or did it taste like today's Monsantos Fast Food?
I love your videos
Many Thanks for the comment and Happy Memorial Day !

Ad my pic taken with him in 1978 I west Virginia as an employee of a KFC shortly I think before he pasted..I wish I could find that pic
I love extra crispy but sadly i never get it, its always extra soggy. Maybe one day . Nice video.
Dave Thomas invented the bucket for him.
Two days before I left Odessa (Odesa,) Ukraine, I ate at KFC near my apt.
I saw some people standing out at the pumps last Sunday. Was that you guys? We pulled in with a blue ram and red tractor on a trailer.
I miss their parfait cup! I wish they would bring that back☹️
Thanks for the comment and Happy Memorial Day ! John
Happy memorial day to you too and thank you for the review we are visiting in early June and we’re trying to decide where to go to eat! 😋👍
where are you coming from and where do you plan on going?
We are coming from Chicago, and we are planning to go to the Ark Encounter 🤗
Love chicken livers but I only have had my moms. Kinda afraid to try any elsewhere.
Omg love your videos I tell everyone
The very first Burger King is in Mattoon Illinois ❤
Them livers are delicious.
Thanks for the comment and Happy Memorial Day ! John
Love the history
I live in SE KY and have never listened to bluegrass, by choice.
Col. Sanders was also an unabashed Patriot.
My dad loved Chicken livers
I've ate there before years ago to me it was just a KFC it looks a little different in your video so maybe they changed it as I don't remember the diorama,him on video nor gas pumps outside. I agree with others he should have neve sold as kfc has gone way down in quality while crazy $$ for crappy chicken. As a kid Dad bringing home a bucket was a treat.
Hey I live in the town where this is and around maybe 2019 they started it remodel it if you were wondering.
Yea, they remodel during Covid. When they reopened after being closed. I live in Corbin and have not been to KFC since 2019. Did not know they had all that inside now.
@@amytrivette728 ok cool it was before that i may stop in when we head up north .
No livers anymore at my location.
You can't find a KFC in Nashville that's worth eating at.
Love kfc original
love kfc
👍⭐😋🍗👍🌟
Thanks for the comment and Happy Memorial Day ! John
@@theappalachianchannel same to you 🍗😋🍗 kinda hungry 🤤
I have Ate there it is Nice. They have Livers there??
Used to love KFC. Now it is terrible!
Corbin
Thanks for the comment and Happy Memorial Day ! John
My Mom use Borox & Sugar for a ant bait.
Too bad it’s so close to the highway 😮
Why is that bad that is is easy to get off of the hwy?
Greatest tasting chicken, but the smallest chicken and waste of money. Popeyes have the largest pieces of chicken that I consider worth buying.
kfc aint chicken it's KFC
I use 20 mule team borax regularly
Americans made KFC what it is today YET they raise prices sooo high for us Americans who made them rich and famous. The5 career to the Japanese making THEIRA PRICE LOW AND SCREWING USA. I refuse to spend $1. At KFC again.
Y momma used borax
