Only in cities that are 75% suburban hell.

ROFL. You don't know ghetto until you've had Kennedy Fried Chicken - the other KFC. Although I think they were replaced by CFC - Crown Fried Chicken.
Molto ghetto.
 
its always going to be kentucky fried chicken to me.
kitchen fresh chicken...wtf.
cheap marketing ploy.
that commercial just ticks me off.

and Charlie's Chicken owns all.
 
It is a marketing gimmick but I have to say KFC has the best chicken compare to other chicken chains such as Churchs, Poppeye and such.

You haven't had chicken's til you've had Roscoe's chicken and waffle out here in So Cal...mostly ghetto areas though...but damned...whoever thought of putting waffles and fried chicken together is a genius.

Uhm, I second that. Damned if Roscoe's isn't the best fried chicken and waffles I ever tasted. I used to eat at the one on Pico when I worked in the Wilshire district. I just can't get into grits though...that's kind of nasty.

No, KFC originated in KY. Colonel Sanders lived here and ran the business.

Link

Sanders restuarant and hotel went out of business in the early 50's. He did live in Kentucky and he did create the recipe. The chain of what you know as KFC was started in Utah where the first KFC restaurant ever still sits on the corner of 33rd and state. Harmons the family that was the first franchiee was the largest, I believe at one time owning over 300 of the 600 stores at the time Sanders died. My response wasn't in relation to where sanders lived, it was in response to you saying you have been to the original KFC (implying the first) in KY. I pointed out the first franchise and restaurant was in Utah.
 
I asked that of a guy I met yesterday that works at KFC, he said it still stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken. But then, he does work at KFC.
 
I had Popeyes in Korea. (Looking for American food.) It was absolutley disgusting.

Granted theres a major difference between meat and such seeing as its a whole entire different country on the other side of the world. But I've been reluctant to eat Popeyes ever again... I mean it was truly disgusting.
 
I know that in San Diego (La Jolla area), there is a place that is still called Kentucky Fried Chicken on the outside sign; either this place is really old or they haven't changed to teh newer KFC name.

Uh... the "wrong side of the tracks"? 😛
Thank you, I was trying to think of a diplomatic way of describing that neighborhood 🙂
Oh come now, let's not mince words. The 2 Popeye's in Portland are strategically located on either side of the 'hood. One on the north end of MLK and the other on the south end.

KFC did not originate in Kentucky. KFC was orginated in Utah.

Jesus Christ at the semantics. Corbin is home of the "first' restaurant to serve the KFC recipe.
