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.
