Binge the full series: • Episode 1: Guns, Guts ...
It's the Great Depression, and in one of Kentucky’s toughest corners, Harland Sanders defends his gas station business with sheer moxie and a loaded shotgun. He expands it into a thriving motel and restaurant, but impatient tourists balk at long wait times for his most popular dish - fried chicken. Eager to woo customers, Sanders risks life and limb experimenting with a new kitchen invention and creates a hit secret recipe. Along the way, he discovers a unique marketing gimmick: dressing up like a Kentucky Colonel from the frontier days.
Meanwhile in the post-war boom a young devout Christian named Truett Cathy opens a diner with his brother in Atlanta. Soon enough his company, Chick-fil-A, will hit KFC right where it hurts, in between two buttered buns.
This podcast breaks down how Chick-Fil-A started, the history of Chick-Fil-A and KFC, the current chicken wars battle for the best chicken sandwich, the fast food chicken war, and how McDonald's, Popeyes, Raising Cane's are all competing to take a piece of the Chick-Fil-A and KFC pie.
