R.I.P Colonel Sanders
R.I.P.Colonel Harland Sanders
September 9, 1890 - December 16, 1980
Yes Virginia, there really was a Colonel Sanders. In case you don't know the good Colonel, he founded Kentucky Fried Chicken and created its signature secret flavor recipe of 11 herbs and spices that creates the famous "finger lickin' good" chicken.
I love this guy. In 1973 he sued Heublein Inc. (the KFC parent company at the time) over alleged misuse of his image in promoting products he had not helped develop. In 1975 Heublein Inc. unsuccessfully sued Sanders for libel after he publicly referred to their gravy as "sludge" with a "wallpaper taste". I wish there were more like him.
He must be turning in his grave over the mashed "potatoes" and bowls they serve today.

That's a creepy picture.
I remember as a kid how my mom would bring home the bucket for dinner every once in a while since she and my dad were both working long hours. Those were some exciting nights (to a 6 or 7 year old me).
I still love me some extra crispy.
I love me some KFC!
