My late grandma used to make chicken like his. She did it in the pressure cooker with the spices, and its nothing like the modern KFC chicken. They changed the recipe when he sold the company and Colonel Sanders hated that.
Having met Colonel Sanders when I was a teenager in the 1970s, I've always appreciated his success story. And I still have the autographed picture he gave me!
There is another Sanders Court in Weaverville NC. His sister lived there. He also lived in Weaverville on and off. The court is now Condominiums.
Not sure if you know…but Claudia Sanders dinner house is in Shelbyville,Ky! You should check it out if still in the area…the food is FANTASTIC!
Enjoyed the tour of the museum. It's so nice to see these attractions I can't visit in person. Great to see Scott Michaels too. Safe travels and looking forward to Route 66.
I did not miss a day of watching your blog I'm a big fan and this is in my hometown and the next time you're in this area I love to meet you and back in the 60s my great aunt work for the Sanders Cafe
I remember Col Harland Sanders when i was a kid. He was one character for sure. Very nice guy.
Love Colonel Sanders but unfortunately nothing tastes as good as it used to...
Right 😢 I still buy it but you are so right. It doesnt taste the same 😔
I agree. I remember back when I was a kid in the 70s in Huntington Beach California and there was a little KFC by my house and my favorite was the extra crispy and the barbecue but I don't buy it as much anymore because it just doesn't taste the same. When I lived in South Carolina for five years I used to get Bojangles it was really good
Locally they've got to where they can't even make the potatoes anymore and I believe they're instant.😢 but I remember when.
That's right. Nothing taste as good as it used to
Even here 🇨🇦taste is TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOW 😢
This was a great video!! The museum was fun to watch! I like that everything was saved and shown with much care!! Yummm!!
The man was a marketing genius.
More than their chicken, I have always loved KFC’s mashed potatoes and gravy. My ultimate trash comfort food ❤
I loved this vlog! We will be traveling to Kentucky in the fall and although this will be a couple hours out of our way I think it will be a great stop on the way home. Thank you for sharing!
I worked at Winston Products in Louisville for over 10 years. That is where the KFC Pressure fryers are made. The founder Winston Shelton worked with Col Sanders to develop the Pressure Fryer and partnered with him to make them. To this day the most of the KFC stores still use the Collectramatic Pressure Fryer from Winston. Some of the franchise stores use Henny Penny or Hobart fryers who have tried to mimic the Winston Fryer but the corporate stores are still contracted with Winston to this day. Actually all of Yum brands are contracted with Winston because they also make CVAP holding cabinets and Ovens to cook and hold food for serving. Winston Shelton passed away just a few years ago and was still coming to work almost every single day in his 90s until he passed. Pretty cool history that goes alongside KFC and Colonel Sanders that most people aren't aware of.
Bring back lots memories born in Kentucky thanks Jordan
His sister, Katherine, worked for my grandpa and his brother keeping the books for my grandpa's business....
I love the history behind KY Fried Chix. Seems that everything now is a chain or franchise that never even started out on a Mom/Pop level like the old days.
Traveling up 75 from Florida we always stopped there for sightseeing and dinner. They have really updated the cafe. Thank you for stopping and sharing.
As always, I surely thank you for doing what you do and taking us along where I would never see if it wasn't for you. Love KFC
Thank you for this episode. My mother remembers eating at the restaurant in Corbin. She was born in Harlan KY, not far away. She lived in a coal mining camp on the KY-VA border. They would stop there in Corbin on their to Cincinnati to visit family on my grandfather's side of the family. Good memories for her. She is now 85 years young. My grandfather worked for Peabody Coal Co. Her whole family are from eastern Ky.
Shout out from Harlan and all the good folks who called Black Mountain Coal’s old camps their home!
Back in my neck of woods Jordan. Another great vlog. ~Love&Light♥️C.
They really cleaned up this place. Visited this a few years ago and it was in disrepair. I'm happy that they restored it and added the museum.
You're in the part of the country where they distill the best bourbons on earth. Don't know if you will but, it would be a fantastic side trip to visit some amazing distilleries...Bufalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey and Four Roses just to name a few. Awesome tours and real history.
Jordan doesn’t drink. Still, it would be real interesting to vlog.
Jordan, you never disappoint with your vlogs! I never realized the Colonel was born in Henryville, Indiana! He was a Hoosier! Wonderful to see the history of an American success story! He worked hard and gave back. He was the example of solid Midwest values! He was not without his flaws but improved himself. Thank you, Jordan for this vlog! Be safe! Can't wait to see Route 66!
Thank you, It's one of my favorite restaurants . My husband was born in Corbin, KY. One day, I can't wait to see the town.
Thank u so much Jordan! Am looking forward to seeing u and Scott road tripping together.
I was there last year, the highlight of Kentucky
I haven't had Kentucky Fried Chicken in ages and I always loved it so much. Now I'll have to go tomorrow and have lunch there! 😁 And I agree, their coleslaw was always the best!
Ha, ha,-Cumberland Falls is about 30 minutes from there. Largest Waterfalls south of Niagara....DEBBIE DEAN,('Motown Records artist)' is from Corbin,KY
25E is the old rout by todays standards. My grandmother lived in Whitesburg , Kentucky. They filmed a lot f the "Coal Miners Daughter" there. When I was a kid I remember passing by Corbin on our journey to her house. It's kind of like the rout 66 to the south. I also remember an area called "Dog Patch".
Great vlog once again you find out of the way sites that keep us tuned to you and your videos Thank You Jordan
This is the BEST history I've seen on Kentucky Fried Chicken, Jordan! As for the "finger lickin' good" slogan I guess with all the fear of germs you can't lick your fingers, go figure! The cooler/warmer bag how cool, I guess it's "Skip the Dishes" who stole his idea. KFC is good up here in Canada but like everything else it is becoming so commercialized that it's also changing the quality of the food, let alone the serve. Up here you can now get two pieces of chicken for $2 but with no fries. It is interesting to listen to the people order this and then be surprised when there are no fries. The commercial is not misleading as it says two pieced of chicken. Keep up the great work Jordan, your videos are top-notch!
Nice to see the colonel sanders museum in the restaurant it's nice they show the kitchen where he worked good vlog Jordan vickie napa california
We made a stop here at this museum on our way to Florida last February. It's good to see you there!
Thanks Jordan 😊 I am sure that is a place i never would have seen if it wasn't for you.
I was about four years old when I met him at Dulles International Airport. He was in the white suit and everything. My mother said that he walked up to me, leaned over and said "Little girl, do you like my chicken?" Apparently I looked up at him without a smile and said "Nope." My mother said he avoided me after that. I came to love his chicken later!!
Well worth the wait!! What an amazing story! Thanks Jordan for taking us along!! Have a great day!!
Awesome you came to Corbin that's where I grew up and live now drive by KFC all the time cool.
Very cool!
Col Sanders was the best. Love the Col. What a life he had. KFC has been my favorite chicken place to go ever since my growing up years. It truly is “finger licking good “.
Live in Kentucky 10 minutes from the Cincinnati/northern Ky airport. Thank you for the video. Obviously I enjoyed this video. Thank you
Thank you Jordan, for this tour of where it all began for the colonel! Agree, I still and will consider it Kentucky Fried Chicken Not KFC. Boy I could go for some of that tender tasty chicken right now. Scott and yourself have a safe and fun trip!
Jordan my brother in law (who’s much older than my sister) worked for Mr. Sanders in the 50’s as a protege of sorts. I live in Mississauga Ontario Canada where Harlan lived and donated a million dollars to a hospital in the city. I believe his official residence was here till his death. One of the last original restaurants here down the street from me was Scott’s Chicken Villa which was probably an alternate name but under the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise as were many other locations in Ontario. They are all under KFC if the locations still exist.
The first franchise location is here in Salt Lake City. They tore down the original building but the statue of the colonel sanders still stands.
❤both you and Scott! Route 66 Excellent adventure. Thanks for taking me along too watch
Kentucky Fried chicken 🍗 food my favorite one fan Big 💖💖💖💖⭐️💯
Yeah Scott now the fun begins🐾😎When we were kids I was such a treat in Friday night when my mother got paid th go to the “ Ritz” as she called it lol
I heard the after the Colonel sold the business that the company changed the taste of the chicken. He was so upset that the rest of his life he would tell people not to eat there. He said Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken is the closest to how his chicken taste that we can get today.
I have been down there. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
We lived in Alaska and my parents ran Kentucky fried chicken. My uncle lived in Fairbanks and he owns a Kentucky fried chicken in Alaska . And my parents got their pictures made with Colonel Sanders.
Loved this Vlog! Colonel Sanders was quite a man. I have to go to that museum one day.
Thank you, Jordan!
👍😊
My wife's grandfather was good friends with the Colonel. He lived just down the road from him which was hwy 160 from Henryville is not far from Charlestown IN where my wife grew up. The Sanders family lived in that area for years. When my wife's grandmother passed away in the early 00's her funeral was hailed in Henryville and inside the funeral home I didn't know this at the time. But they had a picture of Colonel Sanders in the lobby at the funeral home. I asked the funeral director why is there a picture of the colonel here? The funeral director said that he was born here in Henryville and he's buried in Louisville. Thanks for vlogging there.
My parents took me there one time. They have completely changed it
That was cool to see, thanks for this video. I hope you and Scott have a safe and fun trip down route 66
i remember seeing a story that said he regretted selling it, and that he ate there once after that and was upset they changed and cheapened the recepie, calling the gravy "wallpaper paste". i don't know if that story was true or not but they claimed it was
Haha I just had dinner there tonight! What an awesome place, I could have spend way more time there looking at all the small nuggets of col sanders history! Thanks for your vid, I didn’t catch the brick wall of history!! That was so cool!!
Another great vlog thank you Jordan the lion!😊
I share my bucket, with my dog, she loves the flavour and the leg bones.👍
I really enjoyed this video. Sincere thanks Jordan.
my dad knew the colonel as well. my dad worked for scotts chicken villa they owned a lot of KFC's in Canada. and then he became KCF co-op president in Canada which was out of louisville KY. I have a pic of him with my parents lol he also owned a house in Mississauga ON Canada for a time as well
Excellent pre-trip vlog. Good to see Scott! 🛣️
That tobacco shop is the original gas station I found small clip about 1959..him talking about his original restaurant inside his kitchen..
Omg you're in Illinois? You should come up to Rockford a ton to see home place of Cheap Trick, Rockford Peaches (ie a League of their own)... so many cool things
Awesome video Jordan. KFC has always been my favorite fried chicken 🐔 joint ever. RIP Colonel Sanders
I knew Scott had to be somewhere in this video since he loves KFC so much. I always learn so much from your videos.
Great video, so much fun.
Many thanks Jordan, another great vlog .

Great video, Jordan! This is one place I need to get to! I live in Michigan so it's very doable.

Cool, there is a former Sander's cafe, motel in Woodfin ,NC, it is apartments, now. Good video. KFC is yummy 🥰
Thanks Jordan I do love some Kentucky Fried Chicken! I have to tell you that I was sitting in my car when a man dressed as Harlan passed my riding on Harley! He waved at me so I waved back!
Kentucky fried chicken Yum Yum you got to get some hits finger licking good wow Jordan what a way to make a guy hungry showing it on the bed. Oh well makes me crave it I guess I’m gonna have to go get me some for appreciate this blog it is an interesting piece of history and ongoing and probably never will stop hopefully great video. Salute to the Colonel. Thanks.
I was raised in KY. Someone pointed out the small restaurant in Nicholasville where sombody had a franchise but I never got the chance to verify that story. Dad had a job change and we moved to Jackson, MS in 1978. I remember in the 70's when the guys tried to change, the recipe and everybody was upset and the chicken has never tasted the same since, not as good.
love that chicken!!! hope all is well jordan......love the vids.
you didnt stop at his house next to cafe.
Enjoyed again Jordan
LOVE ❤️ THIS. Very interesting Jordan 🇨🇦🥰🫶
I live up the road in London. Sure would've like to have met up wIth you in Corbin. Next time let me know, lol. Ive seen Adam vlog it and Carpetbagger. I thpught you had been there once before. Glad you got to come visit.
That place was awesome thanks
Great video. Love the coleslaw also.
Thanks for another great and interesting video, Jordan.
When I first tasted KFC back in the mid 70's it tasted FANTASTIC !!
That's because it was fried in Pure Lard with all 11 secret herbs & spices.
Today, up here in Canada it tastes no different then any other fried chicken you can buy at a Deli in a Supermarket.
Very little to no flavor ! So SAD !......
That's because Franchises impose cost cutting measures to eliminated most of not all of those secret 11 herbs & spices
and now use cheap vegetable or seed oils ( Which Are Not Very Healthy ) to fry the chicken in.
I've heard testimonies of people who have tried KFC in other countries around the world, they claim that the US version
tastes closer to what it tasted like originally back when they first tried it decades ago.
Just thought I'd share that with your viewers.
Embrace what you have today......tomorrow it may be gone forever.
Really enjoyed this. I love KFC.. Thanks much. Have fun
THANKU JORDAN&YAY!! KFC&COLONIAL SANDERS🙂♥️
Fun video! Thanks!
Another fine video, Jordan. I'm actually related to the Corbins that named that town. So, I've got that going for me 😁
You know I just remembered a true story that my mom told me decades ago about Carl Karcher from Carl's junior. When my grandfather got his settlement from breaking his back he was friends with Carl Karcher and Carl wanted my grandfather to go into business with him and open up a couple of burger restaurants and my grandpa decided not to do it can you imagine that 😮 my family would be rich
Beautiful!
Hi Jordan, I haven't had a KFC for years now. Not a fast food fan. A lovely little Museum though. Great vlog Jordan.
He seemed like such a nice man! Very smart and made money! It's still going and one favorite but admit not the same! Still go!
my grandma was born the same year in december i have the exact same brand pressure cooker the colonel had gifted me from my grandmother thanks jordan 🤟
Love the video! Like always love all of your videos!
I’m sure you know by now @DazewithJordantheLion but The Iron Sheik passed away today! Would love for you to make a video about him if you could! REST IN PEACE BUBBA MAKE THEM HUMBLE IN HEAVEN SHEIK!
As always, another great video! 🤙🏻
While on the way to Gatlinburg, I've stopped there a few times.
as much as I do like a kfc unfortunately over here in the uk they do not taste as good as they used to though such a shame love the vlog and the history of how it all started thank you for the vlog and taking us around really enjoyed watching it
Still the best Intro on TH-cam
I remembered a funny thing that happened to me at a KFC restaurant. We stopped to get some chicken and it was hot outside. We walked in and I saw a wooden bench. I went to sit down on it and I didn't notice the colonel was sitting on it. I turned and saw him and he scared me. I laughed. I was surprised to see you eat chicken on the bone. You said you didn't like chicken on the bone. Can't wait to see what fun the videos ahead are going to be. You and Scott be safe out there. Take care.
That was so cool. Thanks
This was awesome! Cool Museum! KFC Nice to see Scott joining you on your adventures.
Great to see the original Kentucky Fried. The original flavor is not available in New Zealand, only the modern flavors, not as good.
