Any time I go on a road trip, I keep my eye out for fun, fascinating and even weird roadside attractions. Driving through Kentucky yesterday the Husband and I noticed that we would be passing the Original Kentucky Fried Chicken. While KFC is not my favorite in the friend chicken department, eating at the original was too good to pass up! So off we exited interstate in Corbin, KY, took a turn or two and arrived at the original Sanders Cafe.
Although Sanders Cafe is not completely original, it has been restored and a modern KFC can be found inside, along with the “original” side and memorabilia. Sanders Cafe is a National Historic Landmark and has a sign out front to familiarize guests with the history of this place.
Of course I had to have some Original Recipe Fried Chicken to make this visit official. It was actually greasier than I remember it being.
And no visit would be complete without a picture with the Colonel himself.
