11 secret herbs and spices revealed!

The original Sanders Court and Cafe in Corbin, Ky., has been restored and is worth a visit if you're in the area. It's only a few miles from I-75. There hasn't been any attempt to recreate the original menu; it's standard KFC stuff, but you eat in a 1940s dining room with hickory furniture!

Many of the biographies of Col. Sanders say that he had to close the cafe in 1955 because I-75 drew the traffic away, but I-75 was nowhere near being built in 1955 and the cafe is right on current US 25 so I'm not sure what happened.

It helped that Colonel Harland Sanders (sorry to have forgotten the 'd' at the end in his name) worked as a fireman as in stoking coals in the engine room on a train as well as on a ferry boat, as the understanding of steam engines surely may have long-helped him in his method of pressure-frying chicken...
