take on southern fried chicken to the public.Sanders opened a service station in Corbin,
Kentucky where he cooked chicken dishes andother meals such as country ham and steaks
for customers.Since he did not have arestaurant, he served customers in his
adjacent living quarters. His local popularitygrew, and Sanders moved to a motel and 142seat restaurant, later Harland Sanders Caf
and Museum. Over the next nine years hedeveloped his "secret recipe" for frying
chicken in a pressure fryer that cooked thechicken much faster than pan frying. Sanders
was given the honorary title "KentuckyColonel" in 1935 by Governor Ruby Laffoon.
