While operating a gas station in Kentucky, he made his own snacks for passing tourists to increase his income; the business grew slowly but surely, and his reputation as a good cook attracted tourists so much that the Governor of Kentucky made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contributions to Kentucky's dining scene. The Colonel's most famous specialty was his elaborate fried chicken. This ever-popular product was the result of ten years of blending by the Colonel to get the finger-licking flavor. When the Colonel turned 66, he set out on the road in his old 1946 Ford, carrying his eleven unique ingredients and his right-hand man, the pressure cooker. He traveled to restaurants throughout Indiana, Ohio, & Kentucky selling the fried chicken recipe & method to interested restaurants. Amazingly, in just five years, the Colonel had a chain of 400 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
