Colonel Sanders - Colonel Sanders is a fast food mogul who owns the world-renowned Kentucky Fried Chicken or KFC. There is a website that is dedicated to Colonel Sanders. It reads as follows: "In 1930, the then 40-year-old Sanders was operating a service station in Corbin, Kentucky, and it was there that he began cooking for hungry travelers who stopped in for gas. He didn't have a restaurant yet, so patrons ate from his own dining table in the station's humble living quarters. It was then that he invented what's called “home meal replacement” — selling complete meals to busy, time-strapped families. He called it, “Sunday Dinner, Seven Days a Week.”
