[QUOTE="texan, post: 1022513, member: 38206"] [B]On this day, 9 Sep 1890 Harland Sanders was born and he had no way of knowing that he was destined to become one of the most recognizable men in the world. A short time after his birthday, his father died, and a very young boy became his mother’s support system. He took care of his baby brother and sister and did the cooking while his mother went to work ... and he became quite an accomplished cook in quick order. After his mother remarried when he was 12, he went to work at a multitude of different jobs, ending up operating a gas station in Corbin, Kentucky. It was here, at the age of 40, that Harland started cooking seriously. Using recipes he had learned at the tender age of six, he would prepare meals for hungry travelers serving them in his gas-station living quarters. His food was so popular that he finally had to open a restaurant. Over the next decade, Sanders tried and tested, and again, tried and tested his fried chicken recipe until he perfected the 11 herbs and spices that made up his secret blend that is still tempting taste-buds in Kentucky, and now, throughout the world. Sanders’ cooking had such a following that, in 1935, he was made a Kentucky Colonel for his contributions to Kentucky cuisine.
