Coffee is not a swift horse this day.

That's the worst thing that ever happened to Kentucky Fried Chicken, trying to turn it into a fast-food joint.

When I was a kid, we went to the Colonel's to get a big family meal to sit down and eat at home or take on a picnic. If you decided to have your order as dine-in, the restaurants had big tables and comfortable chairs. None of their food was intended to be crammed down your gullet as you drove to work.

I don't know. I guess they did what they had to in order to stay in business.

When I think KFC, I think mediocre overpriced fried chicken with nothing worth side-ordering.

I am neutral towards KFC. I don't think I've ever eaten there voluntarily, but the few times I've had their chicken, the experience was adequate.

Modern KFC is typical mass-produced convenience food, but up until about the mid 1970s, each Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant was sort of its own entity.

The Colonel contracted with restaurant owners to lease his special fryer units and they were only allowed to cook chicken in his "special blend of eleven herbs & spices" which they could, of course, only buy from him. Getting caught using anything other than the Colonel's blend would result in loss of the fryer, which was the real secret behind his chicken. People weren't buying a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise, they were just buying to right to sell the Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's how a lot of existing diners & restaurants came to sell it while retaining their own names.

Restaurant owners could also buy the red & white buckets, boxes, signing and other paraphernalia which they often did because it let people know they sold the Colonel's genuine Kentucky Fried Chicken.

There were suggested side items, but as long as they used the official batter mix and maintained the quality standards, the restaurant owners were free to do whatever. They were even allowed to procure their own chicken. and set their own menus.

I can remember one Kentucky Fried Chicken in Mobile, Alabama offering collard greens, fried green tomatoes, fried okra and even shrimp & oyster gumbo on the menu because they were local favorites.

After the Colonel sold the name and his image everything started becoming centralized and standardized.

Can I get another box and use it to recharge the first box?

you can actually daisy-chain the boxes and become a pico-power utility for your neighborhood hovel
