April: FWIW, the Colonel's original claim to fame wasn't even chicken. It was his ham breakfasts, which he sold for something like $3.95---a lot of money in those days---under the slogan: Not worth it, but mighty good.

If you're ever in Corbin, KY, stop in at the museum, which is inside the original KFC. No matter what we may feel about the chain, there's no arguing that he was a marketing genius.

i asked at a kfc once... "so how do you make the crispy ones crispy as opposed to the floppy crap you serve the rest of the time? hotter fat? better mix?" the guy answered "i dunno, just do" and then went back to making the crap....

pffft... wont eat there anymore.

i am a purveyor of a local fish n chips shop at the end of a late shift... even though id prefer to cook at home, i have 4 other people eating the food in my house and they tend not to buy anything i particularly like and if i cook at 1 or 2am when i get home i get "hungry" people sitting downstairs who woke up cause they smelled food.. but he knows what hes doing, we talk about cooking things the batter, the heat of the oil, kebabs ideas for meals etc

id rather cook myself for 35 people than go to a take out anyday



oh and fyi, dont send back the hottest curry in the curry house saying "nah that aint hot, moar spices melt my gut"... cause they will... honestly
