Welcome friends! Welcome to the first episode in our “cracking the KFC recipe” series and I thought I'd start off the first episode answering a bunch of questions that I know we're going to get in the comment section. The first question or comment is probably going to be why why bother why bother trying to recreate KFC? There's much better Fried Chicken out there and you're right there probably is much better Fried Chicken out there. There is much better Fried Chicken out there. If I was gonna recreate Fried Chicken I'd probably start with Gus's in Memphis that would be my fried chicken of choice. But KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken is the original it's the one that everyone knows it's all over the world I say KFC and everyone on the planet is going to know what I'm talking about.So because of that global stature it is probably the one that we should start with because everybody knows what it iseverybody knows what I'm talking about. In terms of global numbers KFC is number four or five globally in terms of fast food restaurant outlets, the next largest would be Popeyes I think at like 25th on that list. So KFC being first being the largest is the one that I'm going to go with.Everyone pretty much agrees that KFC was great, it was great before the Colonel's sold it to corporate interests and there's a huge online movement of people who work very hard trying to figure out how to capture that pre-1960 flavour.So can we recapture some of that magic? Can we create a KFC recipe that is more like the KFC recipe from the 1960s? Same basic flavour profile is what I'm looking for. Everyone seems to agree that the flavour is gone the chicken is flavourless the batter is flavourless and that's not what I remember as a kid. What I remember as a kid was something that you bit into and it was like; wow this tastes really good! So I'd like to get back to that, I'd like to make chicken that is more like chicken pre 1964 in the US, pre 1980 here in Canada. Because the colonel didn't sell out in Canada until after his death; the Canadian restaurants belonged to him. So we're gonna try and see if we can create something that is the same flavour profile but more flavour. Can we do it? I don't know. So as part of this we have taken a trip down to Kentucky and we've eaten at three restaurants that were all started by Colonel Sanders or by his family, and we ate chicken at each of those. So the next video is just going to be about our trip to Kentucky and the chicken that we ate there. We spoke to someone in Kentucky who worked with Colonel Sanders and I learned from that person that everything I've ever read or everything I think I know about KFC and Colonel Sanders is both true and a lie he was a very mysterious man an enigma in fact.
