I have a few questions about KFC and its beloved Colonel /ck/.

Ok first of all is there any connection between his name Colonel Harlem Sanders and Harlem NY? Was Harlem NY named after the colonel?

What battles did he fight in and are there any books documenting Colonel Harlem Sander's service during whatever war he fought in?

Did Colonel Harlem Sanders have any regrets after selling KFC, and have they altered his recipes much?

He did have regrets selling the business, yeah. I mean, he really didn't know how to run a proper restaurant, his menu was apparently way too big to be practical. The people who bought it from the colonel downscaled the menu and simplified a bunch of recipes. Colonel hated the gravy (and probably other stuff that they made), saying something along the lines of "We used to have the best damn gravy around, now it tastes like carpet."

Ok so if this is not a troll post... The man's name is Colonel Harland Sanders and was commissioned as a"Colonel" by the Kentucky governor at the time that he killed some asshole oil speculator. The good Colonel's friend was convicted of murder and set free later. He was an asshole and a "Good-ole-boy" who had friends in high places and knew how to get people to open his type of restaurants for a fee, or chain restaurants.

Yes OP
Col. Harlem Sanders settled in New York and showed kindness to the local afro-american community, which was very forward thinking for the time. He opened up a KFC there too. In order to honor hos memory the neighborhood was named for him (Harlem) and fried chicken became popular with afro-americans.

Thank you for that interesting link anon, within the article I also found a book that piqued my interest, and I shall pick it up for some leisure reading, thank you, anon.

>Colonel Sanders and the American Dream

>Acclaimed cultural historian Josh Ozersky defines the American Dream as being able to transcend your roots and create yourself as you see fit. Harland Sanders did exactly that. Forced at age ten to go to work to help support his widowed mother and sisters, he failed at job after job until he went into business for himself as a gas station/café/motel owner and finally achieved a comfortable, middle-class life. But then the interstate bypassed his business and, at sixty-five, Sanders went broke again. Packing his car with a pressure cooker and his secret blend of eleven herbs and spices, he began peddling the recipe for “Colonel Sanders’ Kentucky Fried Chicken” to small-town diners in exchange for a nickel for each chicken they sold. Ozersky traces the rise of Kentucky Fried Chicken from this unlikely beginning, telling the dramatic story of Sanders’ self-transformation into “The Colonel,” his truculent relationship with KFC management as their often-disregarded goodwill ambassador, and his equally turbulent afterlife as the world’s most recognizable commercial icon.

It's even funnier that Jim Bakker was found to be illegally using the donations he was receiving for his "Church". He had a dog house for his dog that was air conditioned, which was kind of unheard of back then.

He spent some time in prison, his wife Tammy Faye was a gay icon, and oddly their son Jay is a Christian but is a highly liberal Christian who likes to preach in bars and get tattooed, et.c The Bakker story was one interesting story.

You should know the original name instead of the nigger name of KFC, the original is Kentucy Fried Chicken and he got a Horatio Alger award right next to an uncle of mine because he made something from nothing.

Once the company was sold off and they niggered it up by rebranded it as KFC, I suspect he didn't care so much. He died in 1980, that was way before it was rebranded to appeal to nigs.
