Are You Hungry?

Harland Sanders was born September 9, 1890 near Henryville, Indiana. His father died when he was just 6 years old, leaving him the man of the house with a mother and two younger siblings; a brother and a sister. He picked up the art of cooking extremely fast and mastered many dishes by the age of 7. During his early years, Harland worked different odd jobs like farm-hand, streetcar conductor, soldier, fireman, self-taught lawyer, insurance salesman, and steamboat operator.

At the age of 40, he was cooking for travelers out of his service station. His cooking fame spread and soon there was  massive lines for his food. Sanders then moved across the street to a motel/restaurant to service the high demand. During this time, Sanders had also been tinkering with his special herbs and spices to make the ideal fried chicken.
Throughout his search to make the perfect chicken, he was approached by a pressure cooker salesman who convinced Sanders to invest in this item to quicken his cooking process. He ended up investing in 12 pressure cookers. Somewhere around this time, Sanders also ended up reaching his trademark 11 herbs and spices.

Some say that his 11th secret herb/spice was nothing more than normal sea salt. Whatever it was, it worked and sold lots of chicken. In 1935, Sanders was made into an honorary Colonel by the governor of Kentucky for his cooking skills.

Quick forward to 1950. The Colonel is 60 years old and has to shut down his restaurant business simply because a brand new highway was being built where his restaurant was located. Colonel Sanders decided to retire and lived off of $105 within the form of social security checks. Not wanting to accept this as his fate, he decided to franchise his chicken at the age of 65.

He started traveling by vehicle to various restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. If the owner liked the chicken, they would enter into a handshake agreement to sell the Colonel's chicken. Legend has it that Colonel Sanders heard 1009 "no's" before he heard his initial "yes".

The deal was that for every piece of chicken the restaurant sold, Sanders would obtain a nickel. The restaurant would receive packets of Colonel's secret herbs and spices in order to keep the recipe a secret. By 1964, Colonel Sanders had 600 franchises selling his trademark chicken. At this time, he sold his company for $2 million dollars but remained as a spokesperson. In 1976, the Colonel was ranked as the world's second most recognizable celebrity.
