Didn't Colonel Sanders get his start on the Southern roadside?
A fellow named Harland Sanders had a little motel and restaurant called
Sanders' Court in Corbin, Kentucky. It was located on a highway that a lot of
Northerners used when driving to Florida. Sanders studied up a new way of
frying chicken in a pressure cooker, and got so much attention for his cooking
that the governor made him an official Kentucky Colonel. But when a new highway
bypassed Sanders' Court, it lost customers and closed down. So Sanders started
a new business. He began calling himself Colonel Sanders and selling his
Kentucky fried chicken in restaurants all over the country!
