A Finger-Lickin' Love Story: My Affair with Kentucky Fried Chicken

A Finger-Lickin' Love Story: My Affair with Kentucky Fried Chicken

Standing beside me is a life-size cutout of the man behind Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Harland Sanders, who brought us the finger-lickin' goodness I used to know and love so well. This picture of me and the Colonel was taken when I visited the Kentucky Fried Chicken Museum in Louisville, Kentucky.

KFC traces its origins back to 1930 when Harland Sanders began perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices in his small restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky. Colonel's unique recipe garnered nationwide attention in the late 1950s. His success led to establishing KFC franchises across the United States, ultimately becoming an international sensation.

Kentucky Fried Chicken has evolved over the years, and so have I. I don't eat fast food too much anymore. Yet, I still remember KFC delivering delicious, satisfying meals. Still, when the aroma of KFC wafts through the air, it ignites memories of family gatherings, picnics, and moments of pure indulgence.
